Transport & Installation - Dockwise

Offshore Transport & InstallationDockwise uses semi-submersible, heavy lift vessels to lower offshorestructures onto pre-installed jackets on the seabed or onto floatinghulls. The float-over deck installation is a reliable means of installingassets, especially in remote locations and harsher environments such asWest Africa and Western Australia. Offshore integration costs can also bereduced, especially for deck weights in excess of 10,000 metric tons.Our full service, in-house engineering capabilities enable us to focus oncomplete logistical transportation and installation management acrossthe globe.Onshore Transport & InstallationIn addition to float-over installation technology, Dockwise combinesmarine transport with onshore modular project discharge andinstallation. This means modular built onshore projects can betransported from the fabrication yard to final inland destinations withone single contract and one single contractor, Dockwise. Dockwisemanages the complete modular project logistics by supervisingtransportation and integration to its final destination.The module to be installed inWest African swell conditionswas the 12,400 metric tonGX-deck. Dockwise semisubmersiblevessel Transshelfcarried the deck across theglobe from Ulsan, Korea to offthe coast of Nigeria.For the transport and float-overinstallation of a large18,000 metric ton integratedproduction deck (East AreaProject), the Black Marlin had tobe substantially converted.The deck left Korea and wasinstalled during a 3 dayoperation offshore Nigeria.
