Cable Transportation
Subsea Cable Assets (SCA) has secured its first contract with Saipem Contracting Netherlands for cable transportation and transpooling services in the Caspian region.
Approximate value: US$20 million.
The scope of work includes the delivery of five cable transport carousels, each with a 1100 t capacity and associated cable handling equipment. The cable spooling equipment will be mobilised on a Cable Transport Vessel for cable load out at JDR Cable Systems in the UK.
Subsequently, the loaded cable carousels will be transported to Southeastern Europe for onward mobilisation using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs) onto smaller transport barges and into the Caspian region.
SCA will manage the entire operation from equipment supply through to on-site deployment, delivering a single, co-ordinated campaign.
Manufacturing of the cable carousels and related equipment is currently underway at SCA’s Dubai facility, with shipment to Europe planned for by the end of this year.
