Shepherd Offshore Comments:

"Shepherd offshore was tasked with discharging 8 reels for our client Baker Hughes Energy Technology Ltd in a very efficient and safe manner. All our services were tasked with a significant scope, our lifting team had to release hundreds of lashings and our Hotworks specialists had to burn off just under 200 D-Rings.

Our mooring squad berthed the vessel perfectly, allowing our Sir William Arroll 325 Hammerhead to reach every corner of the vessel. With a carefully planned procedure, our burners and grinders set to burning off while our lifting team followed right behind and unlashing as they went. We managed to lift off all 8 in record time, much to our clients delight.

The reels were offloaded onto the quay, with the Baker Hughes straddle truck waiting to collect the reel for repositioning and storage on our quay. In total, Shepherd Offshore provided Plant Hire, AP Support, Complex lifts within a vessel hold, Releasing Team, Vessel and Labour support resulting in a total of over 500te lifted safely and efficiently over the 1 shift".
