Subsea 7 Inc (OSE Symbol: SUB), one of the world's leading subsea engineering and construction companies, was recognised last night for excellence throughout its business and operations when it was named ‘Subsea Company of the Year' at the 2009 Subsea UK Business Awards.
Finalists in the ‘Subsea Company of the Year' category, which also included Hallin Marine and Tracerco, were judged on a number of factors, including: growth in the last year; national and international profile and reputation; business and technical excellence; commitment to staff training and development and commitment to safety and the environment.
Achievements such as recently scoring 93% for Health and Safety and 91% for Environmental issues with FPAL (First Point Assessment Ltd) - the highest ever scores awarded to an FPAL listed company in these areas - and its investment in, and commitment to, numerous new technologies - including helping other SME's in the Subsea Industry get their technologies to market; were among just some of the reasons Subsea 7 was selected as the 2009 winner:
