Seaweld Viking, announced the continued expansion of its global presence through an exclusive international agency agreement with Seaweld Engineering of Ghana. The partnership will see Viking Moorings have a strategic, operational presence along the entire coast of West Africa from Senegal to Congo, with a particular focus on offshore mooring operations in the oil rich Gulf of Guinea. The result for West African operators will be reduced transportation costs, a fully resourced and highly skilled local mooring solution, and access to Viking Mooring's entire portfolio of mooring equipment. Furthermore, the partnership with Seaweld is already seeing a number of important developments, including the establishment of Seaweld Viking Global Link Nigeria Ltd. as a separate trading entity in Nigeria. Viking Moorings Ltd. Launches New Fibre Rope Storage System Fibre in Bag Solution to Protect Fibre Rope on Seabed and Simplify Pre-Laid Mooring Operations 11/10/2010 |
||||||||||||||||||
| Seaweld Viking, launched its new fibre in bag solution - a complete fibre rope storage system which will enable the fibre rope and the buoy in a pre-set mooring application to be stored safely on the seabed until mobilisation (the fibre rope will be stored in a bag). The solution was developed in partnership with Det Norske and was announced at the Anchor Handling Seminar in Stavanger on November 10, 2010. Benefits to operators of the new fibre in bag solution will include a simplification of pre-laid mooring operations with the ability to store the fibre rope and buoy underwater, efficient and flexible onboard handling and storage when required, no requirements for specialised tooling and external cranes, and the protection of seafloor infrastructure and flora, with no grappling. In addition, there will be no need to protect buoys at the surface. Traditionally in pre-mooring applications, the anchor chain on the sea bed is grappled to connect the chain to a buoy in advance of the rig's arrival. This grappling operation can often disturb the sea bed surface and harm potential coral colonies. Furthermore, when a surface buoy is connected to the subsea pre-mooring installation, a guard boat is often required to prevent any collisions between the buoys and other marine traffic. In addition, the fibre rope insert which follows the ground chain cannot be pre-laid, since any movement of the insert may allow seabed corals, debris or other seabed particles to cut into some of the fibres. The new system will store the fibre insert in a bag that will be stored safely underwater alongside a remotely operated Spin Buoy which will, until activated, stay on the sea bed on conventional applications, or close to an artificial sea bed on ultra deep water applications. | |||||||||||||||||||
