We would all like to congratulate and thank our very own Lindsey Swan for 28 glorious years of unwavering service to Swan & Co.

Our constant voice of reason, calm and compassion, our confidant during challenging times, our relentless supporter, and most of all our loving colleague and friend.

The most vital of cogs in our system and a figurehead to us all. We can only thank you for what you do for us day in, day out!

Love from the entire team.

Confined space entry reduction and improving the safety of operations has been at the forefront of our work for some time now.

Our Non-Entry Support Tool (NEST) continues to break new ground within the industry. We are delighted with the progress we have made since launching our innovation last year.

We have successfully cleaned many tanks on supply vessels already whilst removing person entry and thus removing a huge amount of risk to personnel.

Below is an example of a vessel that we tackled recently that had over 250 barrels of solids and initially also contained readings of H2S. In normal circumstances this becomes extremely dangerous to deal with. Over 2 days the NEST cleaning equipment and a cleaning team returned the 2 tanks back to ‘mud clean’ and suitable for use again. Nobody entered the tanks at all.

We are very proud to be influencing such positive change for our clients and within the industry.

Well done to the entire Swan team for the work done on this so far. Fantastic work.

The attached quote came from the vessel crew on completion of cleaning ops.

Join us in wishing our illustrious leader a very happy 60th birthday!

As you can imagine some messages have had to be censored 😝 but they all certainly come with a huge amount of warmth and respect.

Happy birthday, Kenny… we couldn’t wish for a better boss!

The dangers of Methanol handling and transfer…

Today we carried out Methanol Awareness Training to a crew onboard one of our client vessels. We are all MARPOL registered marine surveyors with many years of experience with highly sensitive products such as Methanol.

The experience and knowledge we have is vital to crews being asked to work with such dangerous products; our guidance through such procedures ensures safely executed operations providing a safety net for all involved.

Not just controlling all Methanol related operations from Aberdeen & Peterhead, we have attended sites across the world to lend our expertise. Recent visits to Ghana, Mozambique, Trinidad & Tobago and Azerbaijan to name a few have seen us ensure operations run safely and smoothly wherever we are.
