Name SEVEN SEAS<br />

Type Pipelaying <strong>vessel</strong><br />

Yard number 710<br />

Year 2008<br />

Purchaser Subsea 7<br />

Built by IHC Merwede<br />

Saipem<br />

Saipem owns dynamically positioned (DP3) <strong>vessel</strong>s<br />

(i.e. Saipem 7000 and Saipem 3000) capable to lift up<br />

to 14,000 t and successfully complete challenging<br />

offshore installation and construction projects; dynamically<br />

positioned (i.e. Saipem 7000 and Castoro<br />

Sei) and conventional (i.e. Castoro 7 and Semac 1)<br />

<strong>vessel</strong>s, capable to lay pipeline with the S-lay and J-lay<br />

techniques in low and deep waters; a field development<br />

ship, the Saipem FDS, capable to J-lay and lift up<br />

to 600 t.<br />

Saipem is actually strengthening its fleet by constructing<br />

new <strong>vessel</strong>s like the CastorOne, a dynamically<br />

positioned (DP3) deepwater laying barge for<br />

operations in extreme environments, and the new<br />

Saipem FDS 2, capable to develop offshore fields by J-<br />

laying and lifting up to 1,000 t in dynamic position<br />

(DP3).<br />

For the Caspian Sea, Saipem has developed a dedicated<br />

fleet (i.e. Castoro 12, TRB tenders and Ersai<br />

<strong>vessel</strong>s) that, thanks to some advanced laying and<br />

trenching technologies, are capable to operate in low<br />

waters, high temperature ranges and harsh and difficult<br />

environments. Saipem is actually completing a new<br />

post-trenching barge, the Castoro 16.<br />

Saipem, through Sonsub, also owns a huge ROV and<br />

subsea construction fleet.<br />
