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 />
