Harding has entered into a contract for the delivery of lifeboats and davits to the Culzean offshore gas complex, to be constructed for owner Maersk Oil UK by Sembcorp Marine subsidiary SMOE of Singapore.
Culzean is one of the largest gas discoveries of recent years in the UK North Sea. The field centre will comprise a 12-slot wellhead platform (WHP) linked by bridges to a central processing facility (CPF) supported by a floating storage and offloading vessel (FSO), and an installation for utilities and living quarters (ULQ).
Harding will deliver three 70-person FF1200 freefall lifeboats to the ULQ and one FF1200 to the WHP, both with LA1200SU davits. The davits are scheduled for delivery by March 2017, with the lifeboats to follow in December of the same year.
The WHP/FSO contract is still in bid phase.
