Royal Boskalis Westminster has received a sizable logistical management transport contract and a letter of award for the transport and float-over installation of an offshore platform with a combined contract value of approximately USD 65 million.
The logistical management contract scope is for the transportation of a large number of modules from a fabrication yard in Asia to a plant being developed in North America. The contract ties up two high-end open-stern heavy transport vessels for approximately 475 vessel days each commencing late 2019.
Topside Transportation and Float-over Installation
Boskalis furthermore received a letter of award from Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd for the transportation and float-over installation of a topside for the Bokor Central Processing Platform Phase 3 redevelopment project in Malaysia. The topside will be constructed by their yard in Malaysia and will be skidded onto an open-stern heavy transport vessel.
For the purpose of this project, an existing vessel will be modified and become dynamic positioning (DP2) compliant allowing it to work in close proximity to offshore structures. The project is due to be executed in 2020.
