Heerema Marine Contractors announced in a statement that McDermott has awarded a contract to transport and install six large jackets within Package-1 of Saudi Aramco’s Marjan Increment program.
Heerema’s contract includes the transportation and installation of six jackets, piles, and boatlandings, which make up part of the GOSP complex. The jackets are all within the weight range of 4,500 to 6,700 metric tons with a maximum footprint of 90 x 52 meters.
Heerema will transport the jackets from the L&T yard in Oman to the Marjan offshore field using the company’s H-591 barge. The installation vessel will be Heerema’s largest semi-submersible crane vessel Sleipnir, which runs on emission-reducing LNG and has a lifting capacity of 20,000 metric tons.
Sleipnir will lift install the jackets and the 92 piles, which have a combined weight of 24,000 metric tons, in 2023.
The project will be run from Heerema’s Leiden Office and the soon-to-be-established Al Khobar office. The Marjan Increment project is an important step in Heerema’s ambition to expand activities in the Middle East further.
In 2019, McDermott was awarded the second largest EPCI contract by Saudi Aramco in the Marjan Increment Development Project to provide engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of offshore gas facilities and pipelines. (read more)
