Legacy Locker

J+S has developed this portal for refurbished and new subsea Legacy equipment where you can buy, sell or trade your unwanted stock.

Leading the way in the Oil & Gas industry

J+S realises the economic value of refurbishing existing, unwanted capital equipment. Legacy Locker is the open industry portal for the re-manufacturing, recycling and up-cycling of subsea equipment.

J+S is leading the way in the Oil & Gas industry to optimise the value of existing, unwanted capital equipment, combating the continued downturn in the offshore market.

J+S is committed to adjusting economic, social and environmental behaviours to build a resourceful and sustainable future. To support this goal and to avoid large quantities of fully functioning equipment simply being scrapped, Legacy Locker was launched.

What is it?

  • Legacy Locker is a repository of all the spares you need to maintain your production
  • It is a store of spare parts that we own and hold at J+S
  • It also acts as a notional store of all the parts that our clients and others have agreed to make available through Legacy Locker to buy, rent or use and replace for urgent jobs
  • It is an engineering service to test, refurbish, re-certify or reverse-engineer obsolete items owned by J+S or our clients
  • It is a brokerage service for higher value items owned by Oil & Gas and service companies
  • It has the capacity to expand in equipment type and geography
  • It helps you overcome the interface, supply and support problems that have challenged the industry over many years
