ABERDEEN - James Fisher Offshore (JFO), strengthens its position as the global life of field support provider of specialist offshore engineering solutions, consolidating its services with those of its sister company, James Fisher Subsea Excavation (JFSE).

The merger brings JFSE, the leading subsea excavation service company with the world’s largest range of inhouse excavation equipment, experience and expertise, under the banner of JFO.
