2014 continues to be a busy year for Protea with the delivery of an advanced trencher handling system to Canyon Offshore Limited.

Designed to allow the safe launch and recovery of Canyon’s latest trencher, the T1500, the 35t SWL launch and recovery system was recently mobilised on the Maersk Responder and is now operational in the North Sea.

“We worked closely with the Canyon Offshore project team to develop a system that was tailored to their precise requirements and incorporated the key features they had specified based on many years of operating subsea trenchers. These included the ability to launch and recover T1500 in high sea states, rapid mobilisation and demobilisation on a range of support vessels and ease of operation and maintenance,” said Tomasz Paszkiewicz, CEO of Protea.
