Contract awarded to H&W
The SeaRose vessel is being dry docked and serviced by Harland and Wolff Heavy Industries.
HARLAND and Wolff Heavy Industries (H&W) has been awarded the contract for the dry docking and service of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.
The 272-metre long, 46-metre wide SeaRose FPSO is located at the White Rose oil field, 350km off the Newfoundland coast, Canada, which is operated by Husky Oil.
H&W will dedicate its smaller 335m x 50m Belfast repair dock and 432m repair quay to the project during May and June this year.
This intense period of activity will be preceded by a dedicated team planning and co-ordinating all activities, starting immediately. The integrated project team will be made up of owner and H&W personnel along with key contractors and vendors.
“H&W, along with our key contractors, are pleased to have secured the SeaRose FPSO project and to demonstrate the capabilities of the UK oil & gas supply chain,” said H&W project manager James Lappin.
“This is an important opportunity, not only for H&W but for Northern Ireland to extend a welcome to our Canadian visitors and demonstrate our world-class facilities.”
H&W chief executive officer Robert Cooper said the company was proud that such trust had been placed in it.
“All levels of H&W are committed to ensuring this important project is completed safely and successfully,” he said.
