Interview with Milan Hendrikse [Name and title] Project manager

[Milan] “Gumusut-Kakap really was an opportunity for Malaysia as a country to develop deep-water capability and we had to build a 40,000 tonne FPS in a yard that typically build structures up to 10,000 tonnes. So it’s quite an achievement that we managed to pull something off four times heavier and more complex”.

[Milan] “We built a 20,000 tonne hull and a 20,000 tonne topsides and one of the key activities in the fabrication was the so-called super lift. This was quite a spectacular achievement where we lifted the topsides some 45 metres up, including the lifting winch - it was weighing about 23,000 tonnes; it’s one of the heaviest lifts. And that allowed us then to move the hull under the topsides and connect it, and that way the two elements were mated for load-out”.

[Video footage] Sped-up footage of topsides of rig being lifted up – day shot. Topsides still being lifted at night. Lifted during day again. Large piece of rig being placed beneath lifted topside. Piece being put into position. Another piece being placed underneath topsides. Large piece of rig being placed beneath topsides again – night shot.

[Milan] “We had to pull the 40,000 tonne FPS onto a heavy load-out vessel, the Blue Marlin. You need to do this very carefully, taking account of tides. We managed to pull a 40,000 tonne structure onto a vessel that was adjacent on the quayside and that operation went very smooth. It’s a big milestone for Gumusut”.
