Shell cleared to lift Brent Delta topside in one go
Worlds biggest ship, Pioneering Spirit, formerly a Nazi named vessel, the Pieter Schelte, is cleared to lift Brent Delta topside in one go
7 July 2015
Oil giant Shell is to press ahead with plans to remove the topside of the Brent Delta platform in a single lift after its decommissioning project was cleared by the UK government.
Shell will use a heavy-lift vessel to remove the 24,200-tonne structure once preparations have been completed.
Work has already started on strengthening the topside in anticipation of a 2016 lift.
UK ministers cleared the project following a 30-day public consultation.
The lift will be carried out by the Korean-built vessel Pioneering Spirit after “thorough preparations and weather assessments”, Shell said.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
