Bonga gets a heavy lift as modules are powered on.
(From Lloyds List)
Byline: Amec half-way through 23-unit programme at Tyneside, writes Martyn Wingrove
SHELL and Amec are halfway through a 23-module lift programme on the Bonga floating production storage offloading vessel at Tyneside.
The UK contractor is installing and integrating 16 production modules and seven piperack units on the Bonga FPSO hull over the second and third quarters under a GBP300m ($500m) contract from the Anglo-Dutch oil supermajor.
It plans to complete all of the lifts by the middle of April when Smit Transport's Asian Hercules II heavy lift crane barge is due to leave the Wallsend yard.
In total 22,000 tonnes of topside modules will be installed on the 300-m long FPSO hull, which arrived at Newcastle-upon-Tyne on November 16 last year.
Installation work begun on February 24 when the 2,426 tonne power module, the largest by weight, was landed on the hull, said Shell's construction manager Bob Hughson.
