Swiber signs MOU to target the Middle East market-Spotlight

Swiber Holdings Limited reported the successful completion of its first floatover operation with the B-193 Field Development project in India for the country’s national oil company, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC).

The extensive scope of work for this complex project involved floatover installation of a 13,000 MT AP process platform and an 8,000 MT AQ living quarter platform, as well as installation of bridges and flares. Fabrication of the topsides, jackets and other structures was undertaken by a consortium partner at their yard in Malaysia.

With topside weights increasingly exceeding floating crane lifting capacities, floatover installation has emerged as a reliable and cost-effective alternative. The Group utilised its Derrick Pipelay barge Swiber PJW3000 along with the 2 floatover barges Holmen Atlantic and Holmen Pacific supported by several other support vessels for this project, located at offshore Mumbai in India.
