OCEANTEAM SHIPPING ASA - RENTOCEAN SELECTED BY LS CABLE TO SUPPLY SECOND 4000T MODULAR CAROUSEL SYSTEM
RentOcean, a 100 percent owned subsidiary of Oceanteam Shipping ASA, has been
awarded a contract to supply LS Cable - a leading supplier of a wide range of
industrial specialty cables - a second 4000t modular carousel system and
accompanying equipment for a long-term project.
The carousel and additional equipment will be used for the transportation of 2 x
50km of power cables from the LS cable plant in Donghae, South Korea to the
project port of Doha, Qatar, which will take place in 2014 and 2015. To ensure
smooth transportation and loading Oceanteam will also supply operators. LS Cable
will commission a vessel, outfitted with all necessary equipment, to serve as an
offshore transportation platform between Donghae and Qatar. This new build
4000T carousel is an addition to the already delivered 4000T carousel, of which
the buildup in Korea is almost completed.
The new patented carousel series is designed for flexibility and quick
mobilisation on standard PSV/CSV with limited deck load. Fully loaded, the
carousels have a maximum deck load of 8t m2, eliminating the need for under-deck
reinforcement. The modular systems are delivered to the mobilisation site in
40ft containers. All system components are 'plug and play' and interchangeable.
As a result of this new philosophy, the equipment is sea- and road
transportable, and can be mobilized in a cost effective manner to all ports
globally.
"We are very pleased that we can further support our client on this project.
Being awarded with this contract shows that LS Cable feels confident that
RentOcean can deliver what they promise; quality equipment and services within
limited time, says Managing Director of RentOcean, Lex van Doorn''.
