The Highlands and Islands has one of the UK's leading facilities for Inspection, Repair and Maintenance (IRM) of offshore mobile drilling rigs.
The Invergordon Service Base in the Cromarty Firth has been used by all major drilling contractors working in the North Sea and West of Shetland, this is one of the many rigs in at present for maintenance . The base is situated right next to the road so these large structures tower over the passing traffic but to the locals it is an everyday sight and one they have become well accustomed to.
