The five structures weighing between 35t and 185t were installed using Jumbo’s DP2 Heavy Lift Vessel Fairplayer.
The Ikhwezi project is a subsea development project that ties into the FA-platform and is expected to play an important role in sustaining PetroSA’s gas-to-liquids refinery located in Mossel Bay, South Africa.
The project involves finding gas reserves in the FO gas field situated 40km south-east of PetroSA’s F-A production platform.
The contract was awarded on an intervention basis and Jumbo had very limited time to complete the preparations and the structures were to be installed before winter because of the hostile weather.
Jumbo mobilized the Fairplayer in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, by taking Jumbo’s offshore accommodation unit onboard and preparing its Deepwater Deployment System.
