Lamprell's major engineering, procurement and construction projects are currently under way in its facilities in Hamriyah, Sharjah and Jebel Ali.
In the year to date, the company has worked on a total of 11 jackup rigs, two at the Hamriyah facility and nine at Sharjah, covering the full range of its repair, upgrade and refurbishment services.
In February, Lamprell secured a new contract with the Jindal group, a key existing customer, for the construction and delivery of mobile offshore drilling platform. The contract also includes an option for Jindal to order a second jackup rig.
The same month the firm successfully delivered a wind turbine installation vessel to shipping company Fred Olsen.
Looking ahead, the company said it is well placed to achieve its 2013 guidance as it maintains a "substantial order book" which stood at $1.2bn at the end of April. The group's bid pipeline at the end of April came to $4.0bn.
The trading update comes two months after James Moffat took over as Chief Executive Officer and Frank Nelson was appointed Chief Financial Officer.
Shares fell 3.22% to 173p at 11:10 Friday.
