BESPOKE EQUIPMENT FOR OFFSHORE PROJECTS
Tyne and Wear Marine ltd (TWM) is a North East of England based business and has been involved in supporting the offshore sector by utilising a range of bespoke equipment which they have designed having anticipated the need of clients operating in the offshore industry.
MODULAR PONTOON PUSHING TUG SYSTEM (MPPTS) TWM’s MPPTS consisting of 8 pontoons with a unique dovetail locking system, and twin engines of 180hp, enables moving large pieces of equipment with more ease and cost effectiveness.
The benefits of using this equipment for clients are (a) it enables large pieces of equipment to be moved in one piece and (b) the equipment can be transported by water. This removes the need and associated costs in these types of projects in having to dismantle the equipment after building in order to transport it by road, then rebuilding and testing it once it has reached its destination.
Because the MPPTS is completely road transportable it can be taken almost anywhere without the need for a good weather window.
RECENT PROJECTS INCLUDE… • Transporting a 96 ton Liebherr Crane – this 96 ton crane was transported from the Liebherr factory in Sunderland, Deptford area to Corporation Quay to continue its journey by ship to Hartlepool for delivery to a gas platform for the Cygnus Project.
The limited water depth of the River Wear which is due to lack of dredging because of the declining ship industry, makes the shallow draft of TWM’s modular pontoon system ideal for projects of this nature. 4 of these large cranes are currently programmed in for the immediate future and require transporting, resulting in savings in time and costs.
• Transporting two 43 ton Cable Spooling Manipulators – these Cable Spooling Manipulators were transported from A & P Tyne in Hebburn, where they were constructed, to Shepherds Offshore Technology Park for Duco in Wallsend Tyne and Wear once again, savings in time and costs.
TWM has an extensive range of equipment to support the activities in the Offshore Industry and has available for hire the modular pushing tug system, stand- off pontoons and a variety of fenders.
Over recent months there has been an increase in offshore support services resulting in extending their range of equipment to serve the needs of the industry and have recently transported equipment to the River Tees and Blyth.
