Peterson has had a base in Lerwick for two decades and employs around 75 people in Shetland working on a range of large, complex projects, with access to critical infrastructure.
Andrew Ellis, Commercial Director at Peterson Energy Logistics, said: “Decommissioning is an important opportunity for the island’s economy, and we are pleased to be working in partnership with Brown & Mason to offer operators expert, trusted, and innovative solutions to complex requirements.
“We're proud to be part of a strong local supply chain which has proven itself time and time again in terms of delivering services for the largest structures and projects for the energy industry. We are ready to welcome more large-scale projects to Dales Voe with Brown & Mason.”
Lerwick Harbour’s strategic location in the North Sea, with natural deep-water, creates solutions for large scale decommissioning projects and is perfectly poised to service the energy sector’s requirements. The port’s extensive facilities include over 4,500 metres of quays, including deep water berthing to 12.5m c.d., unique heavy-duty line loading at the quaysides, and substantial quayside working areas, open storage and laydown capacity.

Dales Voe was identified in a government-commissioned, nationwide feasibility study as the optimal location for the UK’s ultra deepwater decommissioning facility which will facilitate direct offload from semi-submersible crane vessels and further enhance the UK’s competitiveness against overseas yards.
As well as decommissioning, the site is also available to support development projects in the oil and gas, offshore wind, and other sectors.
