Offshore contractor Allseas and its giant heavy-lift vessel Pioneering Spirit have completed the removal of Repsol Norge’s massive 30,000-tonne Gyda platform from the North Sea and its transport to the shore following the recent removal of the platform jacket.
As informed by Allseas on Tuesday, the world’s largest construction vessel, Pioneering Spirit , delivered the platform’s 11,000-tonne jacket to Aker Solutions’ disposal yard in Stord, Norway, less than 48 hours after removing it from the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. The owner claims that this latest job for the vessel’s new jacket lift technology is one of the heaviest ever , but well within the system’s 20,000-tonne lift capacity.
