    Established in 1978, STS owns and operates a comprehensive fleet of inspection and work class ROVs that enable it to provide a full range of inspection, repair, maintenance, exploration drilling, survey and construction support services from offices in Aberdeen (HQ), Bahrain and Singapore.’

    Lange’s comments:

    “With calendar year forecast revenues of GBP£13 million (AUD$25.5 million), an exceptional management team and a proven track record of managing consistent, profitable growth, STS will play a major role in migrating the proven Neptune model into our international target markets.”

    Anyone here have any comments on this proposed marriage; the perceived benefits for Neptune, have Neptune done the right thing with STS ?
    i believe as with all previous acquisitions, all management & employees are to be retained.
    Tis a shame Joel Weston has apparently departed Neptune as he would have been all over this – and possibly was anyway.
    Joel where are you ?

    Quayle Munro sells stake in subsea services contractor

    LONDON (SHARECAST) – Independent merchant bank Quayle Munro is set to cash in on its stake in Submersible Technology Services (STS), the specialist contracting company to the offshore oil and gas industry.

    Neptune Marine Services has signed a letter of intent to buy STS, in which Quayle Munro has a 49.9% stake, for an initial consideration of £16m. The final fee will be adjusted depending on STS’s profitability in 2009.

    STS, based in Aberdeen, made pre-tax profits of £1.1m in 2007.

    As part of the transaction Quayle Munro will also be repaid £1.88m of shareholder loan notes in STS.
