Allseas' 'Pioneering Spirit' will start its first job off Norway with an integrated dynamic positioning (DP) and maneuvering system based on Kongsberg Maritime technology.

The Kongsberg Maritime delivery includes forward and aft bridge systems in addition to an extensive automation network and the HiPAP subsea position reference system.

Eight years in the making, 'Pioneering Spirit' is the largest construction vessel in the world.

Its roles will include operating as a platform installation, decommissioning and pipelay vessel. The vessel will start its first and particularly challenging project, the removal of the 'Yme' platform topsides in the North Sea this northern summer.
