The Western Isles floating production storage and offloading is part of the contract
Scores of jobs are expected to be created after an Aberdeen firm landed a "significant" offshore North Sea contract.
PD&MS Group has secured the deal with Dana Petroleum.
It is for engineering modifications and offshore construction on Dana's Triton and Western Isles floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels.
The company said it was is expected to create up to 80 jobs at its Aberdeen base.
The contract is for an initial three years with the option to extend to five years.
The long-term outlook for fossil fuel demand remains uncertain.
Last week, a new global agreement to limit climate change - the Glasgow Climate Pact - was reached at the COP26 summit.
