SAL Wins Contract for Transport of Eight Drilling Templates for Goliat Field Offshore Norway

SAL was awarded a contract for the transport, loading and discharging of eight drilling templates for the Goliat offshore exploration project in Hammerfest, Norway.

In March 2011, SAL’s new building of type 183, MV “Svenja”, loaded the first lot of four drilling templates in Egersund, Norway. The cargo consisted of two units of 311 mtons each, dimensions of 33.40 m x 23.09 m x 16.50 m and another two units of 299 mtons each and dimensions of 33.40 m x 23.09 m x 13.50 m. With its outstanding crane outreach of 38 m, the new building was able to load the oversize cargo.

The second shipment of the remaining four templates has been completed in mid April.
