Motive Offshore Builds Loading Tower for Swan Hunter

Motive Offshore has completed the construction of the basket carousel loading tower for Swan Hunter.

The equipment has recently completed factory acceptance testing, and is now being assembled in The Netherlands ahead of an upcoming mobilisation for flexible riser installations offshore Ghana.

The loading tower comes complete with a new-build 10Te tensioner, and is supplemented with additional project specific components including an under bender chute and height extension sections. The system is capable of handling flexible products up to 550mm outer diameter.

“After a challenging fast track design and fabrication schedule, we are pleased to see the hard work come to fruition with the final assembly of the loading tower. We are eager to put the equipment to work and display Swan Hunter’s ability to provide robust and reliable equipment to the subsea installation market,” said John Young, package manager.
