Dutch contractor Heerema Marine Contractors has completed another decommissioning activity related to a platform removal campaign for an offshore gas field in the Celtic Sea. The activities carried out by the company’s second largest semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV), Thialf, included the removal of topsides for the Ireland-based PSE Kinsale Energy, a Petronas subsidiary.

Back in May 2022, the Irish Department of Transport informed within a marine notice that PSE Kinsale Energy confirmed the start of the Kinsale Head platform removal campaign was expected in late May. These activities were anticipated to run through to September 2022.
