The month of January 2013 has again been a very busy month for A&P NE
On the Tyne there have been a number of dockings / undocking’s:-
The Tyne saw a couple of demobilisation projects for Technip Offshore Wind Limited in January on UR101 and AMT Discoverer. Both projects involved removal of cable carousels and associated equipment. They both successfully completed on time.
TOWL have now just stemmed another mobilisation on the Normand Progress. This is an intense 17 day programme which will commence on 8th March. There is a lot of pre-fabrication work to do before the vessel arrives’, which is currently underway. There is also an “A” Frame to put together, again before the vessel arrives. This is also in progress now.
Also stemmed is the MV European Seaway for P&O Ferries. The ship is due on the 17th February for 10 days.
The Tyne also mobilised the Polar Prince for Reef Subsea. This was a major upgrade to the deck system, which included the removal of its “A” Frame where it was extended by 2 metres and then re-installed. Again, another very successful project delivered on time.
In the Tyne fabrication facility, there are a number of contracts progressing. The down pipes for the Guala Lula project on behalf of Balltec is about 50% complete and on plan, the centre tower on behalf of Brastec is nearing completion.
At our Tees facility, January has seen a number of ships dry docked:-
