Seawell Vessel Mobilisation at Ardersier Port

Client: GAC Services
Industry: Offshore Support

Ffolkes Offshore is a valued client that required a crane company to mobilise the Seawell vessel at Ardersier Port. The vessel was one of the first to be welcomed at the now fully operational port.
PSG Marine & Logistics were appointed due to experience and knowledge in lifting operations and heavy lifting. The mobilisation required staff to work day and night to complete the works as swiftly and safely as possible.
The vessel was committed to another project in the North Sea. The mobilisation had to be completed within the required timeframe.
