MOTIVE OFFSHORE GROUP COMPLETES SPECIALIST PROJECT FOR MAJOR OFFSHORE SUBSEA COMPANY
A leading North-east offshore services firm has completed a £1.5m project to design and fabricate equipment for a major offshore subsea company.
Motive Offshore Group, which is headquartered in Boyndie near Banff,produced a loading tower for SwanHunter earlier this year.
The loading tower is the first of its kind designed, fabricated and operated by Motive and has been tailor-made to meet specific project requirements, including an under-bender chute and height extension sections.
Complete with a new-build 10Te Tensioner, the system is capable of handling flexible products up to 550mm outer diameter.
Motive Offshore Group has a skilled workforce of 80 employees across its marine equipment manufacture and rental and fabrication divisions.
Operated by Motive technicians, the equipment is currently being used to deploy flexible pipe in Offshore Ghana. The tower is aboard the Lewek Constellation sited around 60km from the coast.
This is the first time that Motive has designed and built equipment like this and we are extremely pleased with the end result.
We have diversified our services over the years to enable us to meet the requirements of our clients, which allows us to construct high quality equipment like this. Our skilled team work hard to ensure we continue to build on our reputation for producing a high standard of goods.
