History

The company was established by Stephen Lamprell in 1976 in Dubai.[2] The company established three sites in the United Arab Emirates and one in Thailand before starting jackup rig conversions in the late 1980s.[2] In the late 1990s the company started to diversify into oil rig construction.[2] In 2006 the company launched an Initial Public Offering on the Alternative Investment Market[3] and in 2008 it secured a full listing on the London Stock Exchange.[2]

The company acquired Maritime Industrial Services, another maritime services business, for $336 million in July 2011[4] but was hit by a series of profit warnings in 2012 following a string of losses, delays and deferrals in individual projects.[5] In 2016, Lamprell, via subsidiary Maritime Offshore Limited, joined a partnership developing the King Salman Global Maritime Industries Complex in Saudi Arabia.[6]
