“The logistics for the replacement of the spud cans required external resources, but at DSDu we have excellent access to the relevant specialist suppliers to enable the efficient completion of projects such as this.”

Additional steelworks and other maintenance

While Sea Installer was in the drydock, the client also took the opportunity to undertake additional preparations for the rig’s next contract; the installation of 42 Siemens 7MW wind turbines at the Rentel offshore wind farm off the coast of Ostend, Belgium. This required a substantial amount of steel work related to the installation and securing of equipment on deck including stairs, grillages and containers. At the same time, the bow thrusters were overhauled, the jetting system modified and the topsides paintwork redone in the livery of DEME, the new owner of A2SEA.

With the Sea Installer on her way, Torben Breyen, Vessel Superintendent at A2SEA, commented, “Prior to the docking we had several meetings and despite the short time available all the jobs were executed on time and with a satisfactory result.”
