Shepherd Offshore Comments:

"The 32 x Reel return Project for Clients GE Oil & Gas and Offshore Heavy Lift services demonstrated Shepherd Offshore Services ability to plan, manage and execute multiple logistical evolutions simultaneously.

Berthing the vessel at Offshore Technology Park presented the advantage of being able to utilise our fixed 325T HH crane to discharge the reels directly from the top deck of the vessel and from within the hold vicinity. Upon discharge from the vessel the reels were then dispatched dependant on weight, to the North or South Quay using heavy industry transport solutions.

Shepherd Offshore's mobile lifting team lifted the reels from transport using the mobile 250T crane. The reels were positioned in their final storage position with the future logistical advantages to our client considered."

General Manager, Shepherd Offshore
