London Offshore Consultants has received a C$551,554 contract from the Canadian Government to analyse the safety and economic viability of its waterways.
London Offshore Consultants will develop a risk assessment technique involving all ‘vessels of concern’ in Canadian waters or on Crown land, including abandoned and damaged vessels.
