Heavy lifting on Mariner!
The Mariner A topside is now complete! On 2 August the final piece of the giant puzzle was lifted into place on the 38 000 tonne topside. The topside consists of eight modules, two of them more than 10 000 tonnes. The flare, a crane and some stair towers have also been installed offshore by heavy lift vessel Saipem 7000. Now the floatel Safe Boreas is connected to the platform and the two million man hour topside scope can begin. The Mariner field is expected to come on stream late 2018.
