Boskalis subsidiary SMIT Salvage has been awarded a contract to remove a damaged jack-up platform from the seabed offshore Angola. Including the award of this contract, SMIT Salvage has acquired approximately $70 million of work, year-to-date.
During its installation near a pigging platform in July 2013, the platform suffered a punch-through and subsequently rolled over, sinking to a depth of 30 m. This contract follows extensive site surveys and other preparatory activities carried out by a Boskalis survey team and by SMIT Salvage last September.
SMIT Salvage will remove the hull, legs and other components originating from the jack-up platform, for which it will mobilize a diving support vessel, a work barge, anchor handling tugs and specialized equipment. Following the receipt of the required permits, the salvage operation is expected to commence in second-quarter 2014.
