Reassess vessel-day exposure as seismic and heavy-lift programs expand

Home Vessels ABB to equip Allseas’ new offshore converter station transport vessel August 11, 2026, by ABB has secured a contract with Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) to supply the power and propulsion package for Allseas’ new semi-submersible heavy transport vessel Grand Tour, designed for carrying offshore converter stations

Allseas is building Grand Tour to support the construction of TenneT’s 2 GW offshore wind grid connection programme, under a framework agreement from 2023, when TenneT signed multi-year agreements with Allseas and Heerema Marine Contractors for the transport and installation of its 2 GW offshore platforms. The framework agreements will cover at least 28 slots until 2031; 14 slots for the transport and installation of jackets, and 14 slots for the transport and installation of topsides, with Heerema allocated a

The framework agreements will cover at least 28 slots until 2031; 14 slots for the transport and installation of jackets, and 14 slots for the transport and installation of topsides, with Heerema allocated about 60% of the slots and Allseas about 40%

Home Subsea TGS fires the starting gun on seismic reprocessing project in Africa August 11, 2026, by Norwegian energy data and intelligence company TGS has kicked off a 2D seismic data reprocessing program to shed more light on the hydrocarbon exploration potential off the coast of São Tomé and Príncipe, Africa.

“By applying our most advanced imaging technology to this dataset, we are giving operators the subsurface clarity needed to confidently assess subsurface prospectivity, identify prospects and assign budget ready for future exploration success. ” The company underlines that São Tomé and Príncipe’s offshore area presents a demanding subsurface environment, with volcanic activity, shallow channelization, and pervasive mass transport complexes, historically limiting the clarity of legacy seismic imaging and depth p

Ramform Tethys vessel (illustration); Source: TGS TGS, in partnership with the Agência Nacional do Petróleo de São Tomé e Príncipe (ANP-STP), has started the São Tomé and Príncipe 2D PSDM reprocessing project, which covers a full reprocessing of 14,651 kilometers of 2D seismic data, encompassing four input surveys originally acquired by the company between 1999 and 2005

This campaign was managed directly by Afentra, utilizing a compact remotely operated vehicle (ROV) deployed from a locally contracted vessel. The optimized approach completed the entire scope for a total cost of approximately $60,000, representing a material cost saving compared to conventional contracting market rates of between $500,000 and $1 million for a campaign of this nature

Mr Fusarelli plead guilty to an offence pursuant to section 32 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 for failing to comply with his health and safety duty as an officer of Myra Corporate under section 27(1) of the Act

Peter Fusarelli has been convicted and fined $195,500 in the District Court of NSW as a result of a prosecution by SafeWork NSW. The proceedings arose from an incident on 27 February 2022, when a doctor sustained serious injuries after exposure to hydrogen sulphide gas during a series of biogas experiments
