Offshore staff

Acergy S.A. charteredToisa Proteus from the Toisa/Sealion Group to provide offshore construction and diving services in the Asia Pacific region for three years.

The ship, built at Van Der Geissen in 2002, is an offshore heavy construction and diving support ship. It has Class 3 dynamic positioning, a heave compensated crane with 400-metric-ton lift capability, and a saturation diving system for 14 divers.

Acergy also received a letter of intent valued at approximately $35 million from Tanker Pacific Offshore Terminals Pte. Ltd., for the transportation and installation of the submerged turret production buoy moorings for the FPSO, flowlines, risers, and well control umbilical for a field development off New Zealand.

"TheToisa Proteus will be both the most modern and capable ship of her type in the Asia Pacific region," said Jeff Champion, vice president of Acergy Asia and Middle East, "and will complement the new-build Sapura 3000 heavy lift and deepwater pipelay ship."
