Description

In June 2010, Allseas commissioned Korean shipyard Daewoo to build the 382-metre-long "Pieter Schelte", a unique vessel that will be able to install or remove superstructures (up to 48,000 tonnes) or substructures (up to 25,000 tonnes) of large offshore platforms in one piece. Construction is now well advanced and the vessel, which is being built at the Okpo shipyard, will be delivered by the end of 2014. The vessel makes modular installation or removal unnecessary, minimising operations offshore, and best serving safety and the environment. Also, the vessel will be a pipe-laying vessel with a holding capacity of 2,000 tonnes, surpassing the world's largest pipe-laying vessel, "Solitaire".
Allseas mainly focuses on pipe-laying and has four specialised vessels for this purpose. The company has always been at the forefront of technical innovation; all concepts have been developed entirely in-house. "Lorelay" was the first dynamically positioned pipelay vessel, setting the tone 25 years ago for all offshore pipelay vessels built in the world thereafter
