Gibdock Mobilises Seajacks Scylla

Gibdock, a shiprepair and conversion yard from Gibraltar, carried out the afloat mobilisation of Seajacks Scylla, after the vessel had been discharged to Gibraltar waters from the heavy-lift transporter Osprey.

The vessel was towed to Gibdock for reactivation works at the yard’s South Mole.

Richard Beards, Managing Director of Gibdock, said: “Our location at the gateway to the Mediterranean and our accreditation for offshore work are proving pivotal for owners in the high specification offshore industry. The arrival of this state-of-the-art jack-up also demonstrates that the sector’s true innovators recognise Gibdock as their first option for quality workmanship and on time completion.” 

Kevin Alcock, Seajacks Vice President New Build Projects, said: “We are very pleased with the assistance given by Gibdock in the successful reactivation of Seajacks Scylla following delivery to Europe. Gibdock has proved to be a very competent and flexible shipyard. We look forward to working with them again in the future.” 

Seajacks Scylla was reactivated in five days and departed for Great Yarmouth in the UK to prepare for her first contract with on German Veja Mate offshore wind farm in March.
