Fossil Energy – Decommissioning
Cyan Renewables has successfully concluded a long-term offshore campaign, with the MMA Pride preparing to demobilise this month after more than two years of uninterrupted operations in support of decommissioning activities in Thailand.
The vessel assisted with marine growth cleaning, which is an essential preparatory step in the decommissioning process. It facilitates effective structural access, as marine growth on subsea structures such as jackets and pipelines must be removed before cutting or welding operations.
Cleaning also helps minimise the transfer of biological material to shore or its release into the sea during removal. Furthermore, accurate weight and buoyancy calculations, which are critical for safe lifting operations, depend on the removal of this extra mass. Finally, cleaning facilitates efficient waste management and supports the proper processing, recycling, or disposal of materials onshore.
Throughout the project, the Pride consistently met and exceeded expectations, delivering high-pressure water jetting, ROV operations, subsea inspections, and debris clearance with excellent reliability and safety.
