Hallin Marine, a Superior Energy Services company, reports a promising start to the year of the Dragon (2012) with four new contracts.
Hallin’s West Division heads into battle in search of unexploded 1939-1945 ordnance off the German coast. A Quasar work-class remotely operated vehicle and team are being provided to support site clearance for a windfarm installation.
For a separate commission, Hallin West has chartered the Stril Explorer to fulfil inspection and intervention operations in the North Sea. The Stril Explorer, a 76 metre dynamically-positioned vessel, will form a service base for the operation of a fully mobilised ROV system including Hallin’s Quasar Compact and Seaeye Lynx submersibles.
New contracts won by Hallin’s East Division include a project in the South Mahakam field offshore of Balikpapan, Indonesia. Hallin will provide the SOV Ullswater, it’s dynamically-positioned subsea operations vessel with a built-in saturation diving system, along with a construction-class remotely operated vehicle. The scope of work includes flooding and pigging of installed pipelines with treated seawater, subsea spools tie-in work, flange protector installation and riser supports removal as well as performance of ”As-Built” surveys.
Hallin’s Penrith 8,000 brake-horse-power offshore support vessel and Quasar remotely operated vehicle have also been commissioned to support pipeline free-span correction work in the South Mahakham field.
“ These projects clearly demonstrate Hallin’s ability to deliver high-quality support infrastructure and supporting services on time and on a global basis, ” comments John Payne, Hallin Marine’s Group Business Development Director . “ They also reflect healthy and sustained demand both for traditional fuels and for renewable energy. This is an excellent start to 2012 .”
