The deserted BiFab yard in Burntisland, Fife, has welcomed a new tenant for the first time since last year.
A new operations facility has been established at the Fife yard, which has been empty since BiFab entered into administration in 2020.
Aberdeen-based Orca Oceanic Systems, a subsea services company, has set up shop in the yard – which is owned by Forth Ports.
Energy Voice reports that the company has already begun work at the site for Well-Safe, which provides decommissioning services for on and offshore wells.

An £850,000 deal to save Fife’s BiFab yards has been given a cautious welcome in the community.
SNP MSP David Torrance said the Infrastrata buyout announced on Friday would bring a welcome boost to both the local economy and the morale of BiFab workers.
However, while he is pleased the Methil yard will trade under the Harland and Wolff brand, he expressed disappointment that the Burntisland site was not included in the deal.
