Stingers loaded on Annette for Saipem

2012 04 11


A new pipe-laying ship is to be built in Asia for Saipem, the Italian giant in the field of offshore oil and gas production. The Castor One will be able to lay pipes with a diameter of up to one metre, at various depths. To position the pipeline on the sea bed, a so-called ‘stinger' was developed in the Netherlands and built at Hollandia Kloos in Krimpen aan den IJssel. Once construction was complete, the stinger was loaded onto pontoons in three parts and transported to RHB in the Waalhaven. Here, SAL Heavy Lift's MV Annette was waiting to take the full equipment (weighing about 1,800 tonnes) on board for transportation to Singapore.
