Hallin Marine, a Superior Energy Services company, has extended its Malaysian presence with the commencement of a series of inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) operations for oilfield operators active off the peninsula.
“ This is a multimillion U.S. dollar contract with its central focus on saturation diving from the SOV Windermere at various locations off the Malaysian peninsula ,” said Rik Zwinkels, Managing Director . “ It involves various projects over a two-month timeframe continuing through August with options to extend. A key factor in Hallin’s securing the contract was the proven excellence of the Windermere, which is one of the most modern and cost-efficient subsea operation vessels currently active in the region. ”
Fully IMCA compliant, the SOV Windermere is equipped for wellhead servicing, inspection and construction diving, as well as remotely operated submersible vehicle support. Capable of accommodating 120 people, the 80–by-77 meter DSV features a helicopter landing deck, high-capacity crane (1,500 meter), a 15-man saturation diving system and three-man moonpool diving bell.
