Project:
Lashing/sea fastening 3x reels (461 tonnes total weight) at Neptune Energy Park for Baker Hughes.

Workscope:
Three reels (maximum advised weight: 180t each) were loaded from the OTP quay onto the vessel using our 325t hammer head crane. The vessel then completed minimal lashings for river transport to NEP. Upon berthing at NEP, SOS carried out the final lashing and sea fastening operations, ensuring the reels were fully secured for onward sea transport.
