DOF Group ASA has been awarded a contract by a North Sea operator to carry out a subsea decommissioning campaign, MarineLink Maritime News reported on 12 October 2026.
The announcement, published by MarineLink, says the scope of work covers project management, engineering, offshore execution and disposal services for the removal of subsea infrastructure associated with the campaign.
DOF Group described the award as a significant contract and confirmed it will deliver end-to-end services for the campaign. The company framed the work as encompassing both the planning phases and the offshore operations required to execute removal and disposal activities.
The contract links DOF Group with a North Sea operator; MarineLink's item does not identify the operator by name. The operator and DOF will be responsible for co-ordinating regulatory, environmental and logistical aspects of the campaign as the work moves from engineering into offshore execution.
The announcement places emphasis on disposal services as an explicit element of the contract. Disposal responsibilities form a defined part of the scope alongside project management, engineering and offshore execution, indicating the contract covers the full lifecycle from planning through to the final handling of removed material.
DOF's statement to MarineLink positions the company as the principal contractor for the campaign, providing integrated services rather than isolated tasking. The award therefore reflects a single-provider model in which engineering and operational delivery are combined under one contract arrangement.
Contract elements
According to the report, the contract scope comprises the following principal elements:
- Project management
- Engineering
- Offshore execution
- Disposal services
Each element is presented as part of the overarching campaign to remove subsea infrastructure in the North Sea.
Campaign delivery
MarineLink's account indicates the campaign will progress through defined phases, from engineering and planning to offshore execution and disposal. DOF Group will carry responsibility for co-ordinating those phases as the appointed contractor for the work.
The MarineLink item serves as the public notice of the award; it confirms the contract and the core services that DOF Group will provide for the decommissioning campaign in the North Sea. Further operational detail and any timetable were not included in the verified summary provided to The Maritime Gazette.
