Profile

In 2012, SAL Heavy Lift created a dedicated offshore division based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands with the purpose of offering offshore installation solutions to both the oil and gas industry and the wind energy sector. SAL Offshore has access to two dynamically positioned heavy lift vessels from which it can undertake transportation and installation projects. These are the type-183 vessels MV Svenja (currently DP Class 1 but soon to be upgraded to DP Class 2) and MV Lone (already DP Class 2). In addition to DP capability, both MV Svenja and MV Lone boast impressive 20 knot transit speeds, almost 3,500m² of uncluttered main deck and two cranes, each capable of lifting 1,000t. These attributes allow the division to undertake, as a minimum, the following transportation and installation projects: Templates Manifolds Mooring systems including suction anchors Subsea processing modules Wind energy foundations Protection cover installations and pipeline end manifold deployment The first offshore installation project undertaken by SAL Offshore required the MV Lone to load two structures, transport them to the field and deploy them to the seabed. The first was an 80t protection cover and the second a pipeline end manifold (PLEM) weighing 120t. In-house offshore engineering solutions To accommodate the individual needs of its clients, SAL Offshore can call on the in-house engineering division of SAL Heavy Lift for solutions to offshore projects. These include: Technical design and evaluation of deployment solutions Optimum deck layout design Lashing design Motion and hydrodynamic analysis HSEQ-certified vessels SAL Heavy Lift and SAL Offshore are committed to maintaining the highest standards in respect to health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ). As part of this commitment, all SAL vessels, including those attached to SAL Offshore, are certified in accordance with ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. All vessels also carry an environmental passport confirming compliance with these and other stringent HSEQ standards.
