Sea Trucks secures Argentina pipelay contract

Offshore service provider Sea Trucks has announced that it has signed a contract with Enap Sipetrol Argentina for a pipelay construction project at its PIAM development in the Magallanes field, offshore Argentina.

The scope of work covers engineering, project management and installation of three pipelines of various sizes, with one shore approach, as well as the installation of tie-in spools and risers. It also includes abandonment of two existing lines and recovery of flexibles. Water depths in the field are up to 70 m. At the back of the installation campaign Sea Trucks has also been awarded an accommodation services contract.

Sea Trucks will deploy its pipelay construction and accommodation vessel Jascon 34 for all the works, which are scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2016.

“We are delighted that, in the present difficult market, Sea Trucks has been awarded this significant contract. This award demonstrates our ability to offer clients a flexible and tailored project solution based around the clients requirement, our extensive track record and unique multi purpose DP3 assets,” said Jacques J. Roomans, president of Sea Trucks.
