Semi-submersible accommodation vessels operator Prosafe has won a contract to support TechnipFMC in Bahr Essalam Phase II development in the Central Mediterranean Sea.
The Oslo-listed company is acting as commercial manager for the Axis Offshore-owned ‘Safe Swift’ monohull accommodation vessel which will be used for the project.
TechnipFMC-managed Bahr Essalam natural gas field development will be tied back to the Sabratha platform, situated approximately 110 kilometers off the Libyan coast in a water depth of approximately 190 meters.
The field is operated by Mellitah Oil & Gas Libyan Branch, a consortium between National Oil Corporation and Eni North Africa.
The Safe Swift, accommodating over 200 persons, will operate gangway connected to the Sabratha platform. The vessel, built in Frederikshavn Shipyard, Denmark and upgraded at Blohm & Voss, Germany, is equipped with two marine aluminium electro hydraulic gangways.
