London, UK: Lloyd's Register signed an agreement on December 21 to acquire 100 percent of the share capital of Scandpower.
Scandpower and its subsidiaries in Sweden, China and the US specialise in providing risk management services
"Strategically it will give us a very significant position in the Norwegian continental shelf – a region that is increasingly active as energy exploration and production moves further north into more harsh and challenging environments," Iain Light, Energy Director for Lloyd's Register said.
In the nuclear field, Scandpower's services are entirely focused upon civil power generation. It has developed a number of proprietary tools including the industry "standard" safety tool – RiskSpectrum. Used by more than 400 clients, RiskSpectrum has a good reputation and is licensed to almost half the world's nuclear power generating companies.
