InterMoor said it has successfully completed the marine aspects of the Malikai (SEN, 33/2) tension-leg platform (TLP) float-off operation in Malaysia.
The TLP was loaded onto the Dockwise heavy-lift vessel White Marlin at Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) shipyard in Pasir Gudang, Malaysia, and transported to a float-off location in the Singapore Straits.
Contracted by TMJV, a joint venture between Technip and MMHE Shipyard, InterMoor was responsible for the marine aspects of the float-off and tow of the TLP through the Johor Straits into the Singapore Straits and to a float-off location for various near-shore commissioning tasks to be performed, prior to return to the shipyard.
The work scope also included engineering analysis and procedures, project management for the near-shore operations, management of chartered vessels, provision of offshore personnel and various ancillary services. InterMoor also subcontracted Acteon sister company UTEC to provide survey and positioning for the TLP and marine spread. The offshore operation was completed safely and without incident in April.
Meanwhile, Sea Trucks Group has been awarded a contract award from Shell for the provision of flotel services during the Malikai deepwater development project.
The scope of work consists of providing accommodation support services for 200 construction personnel. The contract will be for a period of two months, with options to extend.
Sea Trucks nominated Jascon 34, a DP3 Accommodation Pipelay Construction vessel, for this project. Offshore activities are scheduled to commence in mid-2016.
