Fossil Energy – India
Marine Masters announces its involvement in a major offshore installation project for the greenfield Bhasker A & B platforms, designed and built by Indian energy company SunPetro.
The project, managed by the main installation contractor ACE Pipeline and directly supervised by Consolidated Support Services, involves the development of two wellhead platforms featuring robust jackets with integrated boat landings and topsides.
Marine Masters’ scope of work includes detailed preparation for lifting and mooring operations, lifting of two jackets and their respective topsides, pile driving, and creation of a dedicated platform for subsea and piling operations. Each jacket weighs approximately 800 tonnes, underlining the project’s technical demands and the need for precise engineering execution.
To support these complex operations, Marine Masters has chartered the Conquest MB1, a heavy-lift barge with a lifting capacity of 1,400 tonnes. The vessel is also equipped with two mobile cranes, with lifting capacities of 180 tonnes and 500 tonnes respectively, to ensure that all phases of the project are carried out safely and efficiently.
The Conquest MB1 is currently en route to Mumbai and is scheduled to arrive on 7 March 2025.
The installation campaign is expected to be completed by 15 May 2025.
