LERWICK, UK --In August, Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner will ship in an 8,800-metric ton (9,700-ton) module support frame from Total's Frigg field in the North Sea to SBS' Greenhead decommissioning site in Shetland.

Veolia Environmental Services, which operates this facility, is responsible for inspection, decontamination, and waste removal work associated with the support frame, as well as deconstruction and scrap handling. The waste will then be re-cycled, re-used, or treated locally.

Total will ship a further 7,200 metric tons (7,936 tons) of material to the yard from the redundant Frigg and MCP01 platforms.
