With a production capacity of just over 600 MW Kriegers Flak will be Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm and is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of 2021. The Danish Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm is constructed in the Baltic Sea across a range of 15 to 40 kilometres from the Danish coast. The monopiles will be transported floating from Rostock, Germany and the transition pieces will be transported on barges from Aalborg, Denmark to the project location. Svanen in the Baltic Sea

Van Oord has been involved in building offshore wind farms since 2002. For the installation of the foundations Van Oord deploys its 8,000-tonne heavy lift installation vessel Svanen. So far the vessel has installed almost 650 foundations throughout Europe. The Svanen has installed the vast majority of monopiles in the Baltic Sea including the Anholt, Baltic 2 and Arkona projects. The contract for the installation work at Kriegers Flak is another sign of the competitiveness of Van Oord’s heavy lift installation vessel.

“Creating a sustainable energy system is one of the key challenges of this time. Van Oord wants to lead this development in offshore wind. With the construction of the Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm we make another significant contribution towards these goals.” - Arnoud Kuis, Director offshore wind.

Processing topside leaves Samsung Heavy Industries yard ready for Johan Sverdrup

Fully assembled and tested, the topside for the Johan Sverdrup processing platform is leaving the Samsung Heavy Industries yard on time, below budget and with no serious incidents.
bk 1.jpg
bk 1.jpg (69.41 KiB) 7983 keer bekeken
Caption: The Johan Sverdrup processing platform is now sailing to Norway on board Boskalis Vanguard, the world’s largest heavy-transport vessel.

“The Johan Sverdrup project has been on a formidable improvement journey the last few years, mostly thanks to high quality in the execution phase. This has also been a defining characteristic of the delivery of the processing topside currently en route from South Korea to Norway,” says Trond Bokn, senior vice president for the Johan Sverdrup development.
“In cooperation with Aker Solutions, Samsung has delivered another high-quality topside for Johan Sverdrup according to plan and without serious incidents. Such deliveries are imperative to ensure a safe start-up of Johan Sverdrup in November 2019,” says Bokn.

Aker Solutions has been responsible for engineering and procurement management for the two topsides, while Samsung Heavy Industries has been responsible for construction of the riser platform and now the processing platform for the Johan Sverdrup field.
The riser topside was constructed in record time and below budget and sailed from the yard on Geoje island in February this year. The processing platform has been constructed as a complete topside, and after the actual construction phase was finalised in May this year, the platform has been subject to countless tests to complete the processing facility to the fullest extent possible before installation offshore at the Johan Sverdrup field next spring.

bk 2.jpg (55.19 KiB) 7983 keer bekeken
“Having built this as a complete topside gave us a unique opportunity to test a lot of systems that we normally wouldn’t have been able to test prior to installation offshore. This has given us a better picture of the quality of the work undertaken and helps safeguard the plan towards start-up of the field next year,” says Jill Sale, project manager for the processing platform and responsible for the Johan Sverdrup project in South Korea.

“What I am most proud of, in addition to the quality of the processing facility, is that the work done here on both the riser platform and now the processing platform have been completed without any serious incidents,” says Sale.
Close to 17 million working hours have been spent on constructing the riser topside and the processing topside at the Samsung yard.

The processing platform is now sailing to Norway on board Boskalis Vanguard, the world’s largest heavy-transport vessel.
The topside is heading for the Kværner yard on Stord where two pedestal cranes will be mounted, and further preparations will be made, before it is to be lifted into position at the Johan Sverdrup field in one single lift by the Pioneering Spirit vessel in the spring of 2019.

“2018 has been a very busy and important year for Johan Sverdrup, involving a lot of offshore installation work – probably more installation activity in one season than for any other project on the Norwegian continental shelf before,” says Bokn.

“Both the beginning and end of 2018 have seen good deliveries from Samsung, first the riser platform that sailed away in February this year, and now we have another sail-away at the year-end. The processing platform will in many ways set the tone for 2019, as it will be the first of the last two topsides to be installed next spring.

BigLift Barentsz transports an 11,700mt jack-up platform

Beginning of October, BigLift Barentsz loaded a 11,700 mt Jackup Platform in Flushing, The Netherlands, to bring it to the West of Africa. Within three weeks the Platform was safely delivered to its destination.
BL 1.jpg
BL 1.jpg (61.88 KiB) 7816 keer bekeken
The Jackup platform has an overall breadth of 75 meters and its legs are 133 meters high. BigLift Barentsz was the right vessel for this project. She has a large, flush deck of 125 x 42 metres, with high deck strength and a uniform grid of bulkheads and web frames, all completed with a sophisticated ballast system.
With a very short lead-time – only three weeks between signing contract and starting loading operations – all design and engineering, procurement and construction was completed by the in-house project team. For load spreading purposes, 60 cbm of cribbing wood was securely positioned on BigLift Barentsz deck.
BL 2.jpg

The Platform stood waiting in the water of the port of Flushing, when BigLift Barentsz slowly inched herself underneath with her own engines, two bow anchors, four cross wires from her own winches to the platform and a stern tug. Once BigLift Barentsz’ had been meticulously lined up with the Jackup’s frames, the Platform could safely be lowered to land on BigLift Barentsz deck.

Kishorn Port to prepare world’s largest semi-submersible rig for new gig

When the Ninian Central oil production platform was towed out of Loch Kishorn in May 1978, at just over 600,000 tonnes it was the largest concrete structure that had ever moved across the face of the earth.
Over 40 years later, another giant of the oil and gas industry will be coming to Kishorn.
K-1.jpg
K-1.jpg (73.47 KiB) 7526 keer bekeken
Kishorn Port Ltd (KPL) has landed its first major contract, and the Yard that produced the super-sized Ninian platform will now host a visit by the largest semi-submersible offshore drilling rig in the world, the Ocean GreatWhite. Owned by Diamond Offshore, a global offshore drilling contractor, the Ocean GreatWhite weighs in at 60,800 tonnes and is a 6th Generation Harsh Environment drilling rig capable of drilling down to 10,000m in 3,000m of water. With a draft of over 23 metres, the rig needs deep water for anchoring and Loch Kishorn provides the ideal sheltered conditions.

The Ocean GreatWhite has made her way from Singapore, via Las Palmas in the Canaries over the last 5 months assisted by the Alp Defender, a large ocean-going offshore supply vessel weighing in at 5600t. The rig is destined to start a drilling contract in the North Sea early in 2019. The Ocean GreatWhite will not be drilling whilst at Kishorn. During its station, it will be made ready for its drilling program with Ferguson Transport and Shipping providing marine agency and stevedoring support. This activity will provide a welcomed lift to the local economy.

Alasdair Ferguson, a Director of KPL, recently visited the rig in Las Palmas and commented “I couldn’t fail to be impressed by the sheer scale of the Ocean GreatWhite. We hope that the berthing and support to the rig at Kishorn will herald a new era of engagement in the oil and gas industry at Kishorn”
Kishorn Port Ltd (KPL), a joint venture between and Leiths (Scotland) Ltd and Ferguson Transport and Shipping was created in 2008 to promote the regeneration of the Kishorn Yard and dry dock as a major facility for the manufacturing of renewable energy components, decommissioning and support to the North Sea oil and gas sector.

The Yard and the dry dock were very busy in the early years of the North Sea oil and gas boom, employing over 3,000 people and generating a huge contribution to the local Highlands economy. Howard Doris, the Yard operators finally succumbed to insolvency in 1988 and the Yard lay largely dormant until 1992, when the dry dock was resurrected to enable the casting of the two 2,500 tonne concrete caissons that support the Skye Bridge.

KPL secured a comprehensive Masterplan permission in 2013 and have been promoting the Yard and its unique dry dock for use by the renewables and oil and gas sectors for the last 5 years following significant investments in site infrastructure.

Simon Russell, Director added “After many years of working on the Kishorn project, this is a great step towards its future regeneration and the creation of local jobs and opportunities”

Jan De Nul successfully completes first major umbilical installation project

Jan De Nul Group has successfully completed the installation and burial of the two main subsea umbilicals for the exploitation of new gas fields in the West Nile Delta concessions, located in the North Alexandria region.
JdN1.jpg
JdN1.jpg (105.9 KiB) 20622 keer bekeken
Specifically for this project, Jan De Nul Group reconfigured its multi-purpose vessel Willem de Vlamingh into an efficient Umbilical Installation Vessel. The two umbilicals, with a total length of 69 km, were loaded in Norway in May 2018 and transported to Egypt. The challenging installation campaign started with a 3-km beach pull for which the Willem de Vlamingh positioned in water depths of only 7 m. Water depths significantly increased along the route. The campaign was successfully finalized early August 2018 with the precise installation of the Umbilical Termination Assembly at 600 metres water depth.
In order to safeguard the critical main umbilical, installation and burial were performed in parallel: Willem de Vlamingh installed the umbilical onto the seabed, directly followed by Isaac Newton for simultaneous burying of the umbilical using the jet trenching method.

Wouter Vermeersch, Manager Cables and Umbilicals at Jan De Nul Group: “We are very proud to have executed this umbilical installation campaign. It again proves our versatile approach and expertise in various operational fields, both onshore, nearshore and offshore. Our staff and crew members on site performed a very precise work in challenging conditions.”

David Down, Project Manager at Subsea7: ”The safe and successful installation of the main umbilicals by Jan De Nul Group represents a key milestone on our project. Jan De Nul’s technical expertise and collaborative approach ensured a successful outcome despite the complexity associated with the beach pull and shallow water operations.

Some moments from the project you can see in the video below:

Hier maar eens proberen.
Normaliter weet ik ieder offshoredeeltje wel te verklaren, kan wel eens 20 jaar duren, maar toch. Van bijgaand deel, kom ik er voorlopig nog niet achter. Kan wel wat roepen, maar echt onderbouwd, nee niet echt.

Menie-rood onderdeel op bijgaande foto's ligt al vele jaren in Schiedam, bij ERS, de materieeldienst van Saipem. Aangezien het anodes heeft, zal het in het/ onder water gebruikt worden. Daarnaast heeft het meerdere cilinders, beschermd, welke hydraulisch pennen zijdelings kunnen uitschuiven. Daarnaast heeft het aan een zijde een zwaar koppelpunt, bovenaan idem een zwaar koppelpunt en aan de andere zijde nog twee lichtere bevestigingspunten, allen voorzien van remote cilinders….
Let ook op een vlakke voorzijde en een zijde met twee flinke knobbels… Ter illustratie: het is 19-20 meter breed/lang en ca 4 meter haaks daarop.

Simpel zou je zeggen, koppelframe voor een stinger. Maar welke dan binnen de Saipem vloot? Castoro 2 komt hier nooit (meer), Castoro 10 is te smal, Castoro 6 past niet, Castoro 8, geloof ik ook niet in, de FDS eenheden niet, de S3000 niet, S7000 niet….. Maar wat dan wel, of zit ik op het verkeerde spoor.

Graag zou ik het met een foto verklaard zien, maar tot heden heb ik alle jaren niets kunnen terugvinden. Wie weet het/ ziet het?
