We enjoy a refreshing relationship with Calegeo's Directors. I am certain that the professional, hands-on approach they demonstrate as they grow their young company will continue to inspire their team. In the long term, we look forward to sharing in Calegeo's growth by the provision of additional marine services.

The Highland Spirit is fully operational and in good technical condition. DP operation was flawless and positions were met in a precision below 0.5m from target.
The drilling operation for geotechnical CPTu downhole testing worked well.
The ship is operated by a well trained and experienced ship crew.

I was told that it was 'near impossible; there is no availability for 4 site surveys starting in the middle of summer'. Calegeo put together the equipment necessary for the Geophysical and Deep Geotechnical Site Surveys, completed the work within the tight 12 week window and delivered excellent data quality at a competitive rate. In subsequent work, Calegeo and their new sister geophysical division Calesurvey provided flexibility that I could not get with the well-established site survey companies. I would not hesitate to use them again. Well done Richard & Steve for a superb performance.

I would like to record my thanks and appreciation for the level of effort, commitment and professionalism given by Calesurvey in support of Cairn's 2011 site survey programme, offshore west Greenland.
Also appreciated was Calesurvey's willingness to take on commercial risk by agreeing to undertake non-standard operations in order to help reduce standby time whilst the vessel was waiting on clearance of sea ice.
These secondary objectives were met with the same high level of effort and commitment as demonstrated throughout the programme.
