Kvaerner returns to Drydocks World for offshore fabrication work

Kvaerner returns to Drydocks World for offshore fabrication work
Kvaerner has returned to Drydocks World for the fabrication of components for a riser jacket platform.

Kvaerner has the contract with Statoil for Johan Sverdrup Riser Platform Jacket in the North Sea.

Drydocks World will carry out the fabrication of pile clusters and floatation tanks including surface protection for the riser jacket platform. The pile clusters will form the base of the jacket where the structure is piled to the seabed, and the tanks will be used for launching and installation of the jackets on site.

“This contract confirms Drydocks World’s position as one of the industry’s leading suppliers of platform substructures,” said Khamis Juma Buamim chairman of Drydocks World and Maritime World.

The Dubai shipyard has previously completed two substructures for semi-submersible drilling rigs Aker Alpha and Aker Beta for Kvaerner.
