Shepherd Offshore Comments:

“The North Sea Atlantic spooled loadout project represented a key operational milestone in Shepherd Offshore’s 2025 work programme. The successful execution of this complex operation—including precise spooling activity, coordinated quayside logistics, and controlled vessel interface management—demonstrates our team’s capability in delivering high-specification offshore projects. Achieving zero incidents on the quayside reflects our robust safety management systems and disciplined operational controls. I am proud to contribute to a team that consistently delivers technically demanding projects and continues to strengthen our position within the offshore energy sector.”

“It was noted that the pre-loadout support provided in calculating the lifting ranges significantly contributed to the successful execution of the lifting operation. Additionally, the Management of Change process implemented to reposition the 300T crane ballast was well planned, managed, and executed. Overall, it was excellent work from all parties involved in the loadout, with operations running smoothly throughout the entire scope.”
