Seaway Heavy lifting’s crane vessel Oleg Strashnov successfully installed the process unit (PU) topside for operator GDF SUEZ E&P UK (part of the ENGIE Group), and partners Centrica Energy and Bayerngas, setting a new company record.
The Oleg Strashnov set a new lift record for Seaway Heavy Lifting with the safe installation of the PU topside with a hook load of 4700-tonne. The PU topside is part of the Cygnus field which consists of four platforms: Alpha wellhead platform, process unit platform, quarters unit platform and the Bravo wellhead platform. The Cygnus Field is located in the southern part of the North Sea. Last year our crane vessel Stanislav Yudin installed the Alpha wellhead platform, process unit jacket, quarters unit jacket and subsea structures. This year the campaign continues with the installation of the Bravo wellhead platform, process unit topside and compression module, quarters unit topside, and connecting bridges.
“I am very proud of the vessel and her crew in successfully performing this record lift and would like to thank GDF SUEZ for their confidence in Seaway Heavy Lifting’s on- and offshore organization when awarding this contract in 2012. In addition I would like to thank everyone involved within Seaway Heavy Lifting, both on- and offshore in achieving this milestone,” said Peter de Bree, Seaway Heavy Lifting’s COO.
