“We have already had requests for information from interested parties and will share these with the administrators to explore all options available. I have also contacted Saipem reiterating our commitment to BiFab’s workforce and the contract to build foundation jackets for the Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) project being delivered in Scotland.”
