BREDA, the Netherlands – Statoil has awarded Dockwise a reservation contract for transportation of a spar platform to the Norwegian Sea.
The spar will operate on theAasta Hansteen (ex-Luva) field, but final contract award depends on sanction for the project from the Norwegian authorities.
Assuming this does come through, the newbuild vesselDockwise Vanguard would transport the 45,000-metric ton (49,604-ton), 200-m (656-ft) long spar from a yard in either Finland or South Korea in 2015.
This was one of six new contract wins for Dockwise with a total value of $57 million. The other involve transport of four drilling rigs to Rotterdam, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore during the first half of this year, including a double rig cargo on theBlack Marlin from Singapore to Rotterdam.
Dockwise will also deliver various barges to Brazil this spring.
