Offshore Oil and Gas

The installation, lifting & lowering market is more and more moving from topsides into subsea and deeper water.

The requirement to provide the capability at depth in the most economical way is a driver for fiber-rope solutions and high efficiency drive systems.

Whether intended for a multitude of tasks like a field development vessel or as a specialist pipe lay vessel they need to be efficient due to which they are highly integrated and the pipe lay system is often a driver for the design of the vessel.

The complexity and integration aspect requires close cooperation with the client and the ship designer in order to develop the optimal solution for the project.

First Oil is an important milestone in production units coming operational.

Mooring and riser pull-in often is on the critical path of installation requiring a reliable solution but at the same time the equipment is under-utilized driving towards cost-effective solutions.

The range of tools and techniques frequently gathered under the life-of-field umbrella is growing, with IRM increasing to focus on deep water.

The requirement to work at depth from a relatively small vessel and allow for short response times is a driver for fiber-rope solutions and clever designed integrated vessel hanger solutions.
