Fossil Energy – Suriname
Saipem will establish a large logistics base in Suriname as part of its work on TotalEnergies’ GranMorgu development, Gianluigi Della Rosa, Country Manager for Guyana and Suriname, has confirmed.
He said the facility will be central to Saipem’s operations in Suriname. “We are going to set up a logistic base approximately 30,000 – 40,000 square meters,” he stated during a side interview at the Suriname Energy Summit. “All the pipes, all the subsea structure will be stored in this logistic base for a number of months, according to the project schedule.”
The base will serve as a storage and staging hub, with equipment transported offshore by Saipem’s construction vessels. “From this storage area, items will be shipped with transportation vessels from onshore to the offshore construction vessels of the Saipem fleet,” Della Rosa explained.
He noted that the logistics base will form Saipem’s primary footprint in Suriname. “This will be the most important component in terms of local content,” he said, adding that the company intends to employ Surinamese subcontractors and workers in its operations.
