Prosafe has secured a contract to provide accommodation in support of the redundant subsea tank removal and safe re-habitation of the Thistle Alpha platform in the UK North Sea.
Prosafe will be using Safe Zephyrus, a DP3 semi-submersible ASV, to support the Thistle tank removal.
With beds for 450 persons, in single man cabins, the vessel is designed for worldwide operations.
Jesper Kragh Andresen , CEO of Prosafe said: “The mobilisation of the Safe Zephyrus for this project shows the ability for operators to effectively use a capable and versatile accommodation vessel to support offshore activities, even if for a short period. Synergies with the next contract commencing May 01, also in the UK sector, will allow for a seamless transition meaning it’s a win-win and Prosafe are extremely pleased to work with a new client.”
The Thistle Alpha platform is located 125 miles northeast of Sumburgh in the Shetland Isles and 275 miles northeast of Aberdeen, mainland Scotland, in block 211/18. The installation stands in a water depth of 161.5 meters.
