Papendrecht, 6 September 2017
Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V.
(Boskalis) has recently been awarded a number of marine transport
contracts with a combined contract value of approximately USD 50
million.
Dockwise, a wholly-owned Boskalis subsidiary, was
awarded a contract by Husky Oil Operations Ltd. for the
transportation of the West White Rose Topside from Texas, USA to
Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The contract includes the
engineering, preparation and execution of the loading, transport
and discharge operation of the topside. The topside will be skidded
onto a large barge, which in turn will be floated onto the
semi-submersible heavy transport vessel Dockwise Vanguard that will
transport the cargo to Newfoundland and Labrador. The transport is
expected to take place in 2021.
Dockwise was also awarded a contract by Lamprell
Energy Ltd. for the transportation of 36 jackets from the
construction yard in Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates to Vlissingen,
the Netherlands. The jackets will serve as foundations for the East
Anglia offshore wind farm development. Two semi-submersible heavy
transport vessels will be deployed for this contract.
In addition, Dockwise was awarded a contract by
Heerema Marine Contractors for the transportation of the
semi-submersible crane vessel Hermod. The Hermod will be loaded
onto the Dockwise Vanguard in the port of Rotterdam, the
Netherlands and will be transported to Zhoushan, China. Once
discharged, the Hermod will be dismantled and recycled at the
Zhoushan Changhong International Ship Recycling yard. The loading
will take place in the coming days and the vessel is expected to
depart shortly thereafter.
Furthermore, Dockwise in partnership with Patriot
Shipping received a contract from the US Navy's Military Sealift
Command for the transportation of the destroyer USS Fitzgerald. The
USS Fitzgerald will be loaded onto the semi-submersible heavy
transport vessel Transshelf off the coast of Yokosuka, Japan and
will be transported to the US port of Pascagoula in the Gulf of
Mexico. The destroyer was damaged following a collision with a
container ship on 17 June 2017. The transport will take place in
the fourth quarter of 2017.
