The Yme MOPU is a jackup type platform standing on three steel legs of 3.5 m (11 ft) diameter, which are inserted approximately 10 m (33 ft) inside the subsea storage tank columns at 93 m (305 ft) water depth.
With this platform removal,Allseas says it was able to demonstrate the unique single-lift capabilities of the vessel.
The platform has since been sea-fastened on board and the vessel is currently on her way to the newly developed dismantling yard in Lutelandet, Norway.
