Stork, a recent acquisition by industrial services giant Altrad, has secured a significant five-year contract with Ithaca Energy UK Limited to deliver inspection services across the energy firm’s UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) operations.
The agreement, which began on 1 March 2025, includes options for two further one-year extensions and will cover the inspection of topside pressure systems, structural components, tanks, heat exchangers and marine assets across a broad range of Ithaca’s offshore infrastructure.
Describing the contract as a “landmark win”, Steve Hunt, Regional Director for Stork, said: “This is a landmark contract win for Stork, positioning us as a full integrity partner in the UKCS. We look forward to working closely with Ithaca Energy to add value to their operations.”
The new agreement is expected to create around 25 additional jobs within Stork’s asset integrity team, reflecting growing demand for inspection and integrity services across the offshore energy sector.
Paudie Somers, Altrad’s CEO for the UK, Ireland, Nordics and Poland, welcomed the announcement, adding: “We are delighted to have been awarded this contract from Ithaca Energy, wherein we will deliver our full range of inspection services, efficiently under one contract.”
The deal reinforces Altrad’s growing presence in the North Sea energy market and follows a series of strategic moves to enhance its service offering through acquisitions and talent development.
