Offshore

Based on experience from FPSOs, mobile platforms and barges, ShipTech offers concept studies and feasibility analyses for the gas/oil and the offshore industry.



ShipTech accepts newbuilding and conversion projects including all steps from feasibility study of the initial concept, to certification, to detail design and to commissioning of an offshore unit.

One of the first tasks assigned to ShipTech was the conceptual design study of an anchor-handling tug for world wide offshore services. ShipTech’s offshore experience is now ranging a large number of projects where some categories are listed below:

• Modification of jack up and semi submersible platforms for the upgrading of life saving equipment.
• Conceptual study of mobile and fixed drilling platforms operating on shelter water.
• Verification of global & local strength of FPSO by the use of advanced calculation methods.
• Establishing a “Design Brief” for the verification work of FPSO.
• Mobilization of vessels for transportation of gas/oil pipes to pipe laying vessels.
• Mobilization of vessels for the laying of el.-power cables or fiber optic cables.
