Seaway Heavy Lifting has entered into a contract with Cardon IV in Venezuela for transportation and installation of the Perla project gas production platforms complete with tie-in of the subsea infrastructure.
The Perla development consists of three gas production platforms connected to the shore landing near Punto Fijo, through a 30” pipeline. The water depth in the field is 70 metres. Seaway Heavy Lifting’s scope includes the transport and installation of the platforms and tie-in of the platforms to the pipelines which have already been installed.
Stanislav Yudin
Seaway Heavy Lifting’s crane vessel Stanislav Yudin will execute the lifting and installation work. The vessel will be outfitted with a saturation dive system to perform the tie-ins. In addition to the Stanislav Yudin and its two supporting vessels, a total of seven tug/barge spreads will be operated to transport the platforms and subsea infrastructure from Gulf of Mexico ports to the site.

Perla Development
The site is located northwest of Punto Fijo in Venezuelan offshore waters. Execution of the project is starting in Q2 of 2015, and will take approximately five months.
Project Management and Engineering has already started and is executed from Seaway Heavy Lifting’s home base in the Netherlands as well as from its new project office in the Woodlands near Houston.
