OFFSHORE PROJECT SUPPORT MORE THAN A SHIPS AGENCY
Arthur Smith (Grimsby) Ltd has developed over the last decade from a port-based commercial Ships Agent and Freight Forwarder into an offshore project and wind industry support specialist.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
2016 marks the 80th anniversary of the company which, over four generations, has provided reliable and efficient ships agency, stevedoring and logistics services. Their knowledge and experience has been utilised and adapted on a number of offshore construction and windfarm projects.
The first major windfarm involvement came with being appointed agents for the 145m hotel vessel Regina Baltica on Sheringham Shoal OWF including 24/7 infield support and all aspects for port calls at Harwich including logistics, stores, waste disposal, laundry, container hire and engineering work, from mobilisation to demobilisation. The company’s flexibility, commitment and industry knowledge has been applied to numerous windfarms for a variety of clients. Involvement has ranged from crew movements and PPE allocation for Seajacks on Humber Gateway, ships agency for survey companies to more extensive operations.
TETNEY SEALINE REPLACEMENT
In 2015, the 50 year old oil pipeline from Tetney Monobuoy to Phillips 66’s Tetney Terminal was replaced by Van Oord. With no access from the shore everything had to be supplied via the Humber. Assistance started with Harbour Master Humber liaison, planning vessel activities and beaching the large work barges. Arthur Smith also set up 24/7 stevedoring services and support from a terminal at Royal Dock, Grimsby for more than a dozen vessels used on the project. A complete logistics, storage and ships agency solution allowed both Van Oord and P66 to concentrate on the engineering work at hand and deliver a successful project.
RACE BANK EXPORT CABLING
During 2016 the company supported Jan de Nul on the installation of the export cable for Dong Energy’s Race Bank offshore windfarm. Over 40 vessels have been covered in The Wash, King’s Lynn,
Sutton Bridge, Lowestoft, Immingham and Grimsby. Planning meetings and local Harbour Master liaison have been carried out, and waste disposal, bunkering, logistics, guard vessels, towage and landside crew movements organised. The desire to use the considerable knowledge of the company to bring greater efficiency and reliability to offshore construction and windfarm project logistics has brought further clients this year including assisting DeepOcean at Grimsby on the inter array cables for Race Bank.
