In 1979 it was Vessel SIRA GIANT with a BP of 145 tons, this time it is vessel ISLAND VICTORY which took BP test on the 10th of November with a remarkable BP result of 477 tons. ISLAND VICTORY is a Deep Water Installation vessel which has been built by VARD Brevik AS in Norway and is based on a RRM/KM design. Besides normal supply service between shore base and drilling sites, towing, assist during tanker loading, establish tow ofthreatening objects (vessels, etc.), the vessel is special designed and equipped for handling of anchors and mooring lines in deep water, consist of wire, chain and / or synthetic rope in water up to approx. 3000 m. The vessel is arranged to accommodate max. 110 persons in 67 cabins, a 250 ton crane and a 28,5mtr helicopter deck. A double ROV system is installed, one through a center moonpool and a LARS system through the side. Built acc. requirements for NOFO 2009, DEICE and COMF-V3/C3 and LFL*.

The MSC TRIESTE handling boxes in Salalah Oman Photo : Rob Sorensen © Fire breaks out on seismic vessel in Senegal A fire broke out in the engine room of the Shearwater-owned seismic vessel POLAR MARQUIS on Monday, November 11, 2019. The vessel is owned by seismic services provider Shearwater GeoServices and managed by offshore vessel owner GC Rieber Shipping. GC Rieber informed on Tuesday that the fire had occurred in the engine room. The fire was put out and the situation is under control. The vessel is located offshore Senegal, with 55 crew members on board. All 55 are accounted for and no injuries have been reported. No spill to the environment has been reported. GC Rieber Shipping said that its contingency team was working with the vessel’s owner Shearwater GeoServices’ contingency team, local 5Distribution : daily to 42.000+ active addresses 14-11-2019 Page 3 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2019 – 318 authorities and relevant stakeholders to care for all employees on board. The vessel has transferred 30 of the crew members to a support vessel on-site and is considering further planned transfers. The vessel is under tow and the weather in the area is calm. The POLAR MARQUIS Photo : Ian Wilkinson PortRisk Manager Risk Intelligence © A full assessment of the situation is being conducted to establish the extent of the damages. GC Rieber Shipping has sent a team to Senegal to assist the crew and the rescue effort locally. POLAR MARQUIS is a 3D seismic vessel, capable of deploying 16 streamers. The vessel was built in 2000, converted in 2006, and completed a four-month upgrade in 2014. As previously reported, Shearwater was awarded a contract by Woodside for a high-density multi-azimuth 3D seismic acquisition over the SNE field offshore Senegal. Shearwater said in May that the work, designed as high density and multi- azimuth survey, would be acquired by the Polar Marquis using 14 streamers, and FlexiSource triple source. The survey was scheduled to start in early 3Q 2019 and take approximately 90 days to complete.

The companies are cooperating on the Wes Amelie project with Nauticor, the LNG transportation company, and Unifeeder, the charter company.

Automobile manufacturer Audi’s Power-to-Gas facility in Werlte, where a liquefaction plant is currently under construction, will provide the SNG, which will be generated by wind energy and is thus 100 percent climate-neutral. The SNG trip will take place after the completion of the liquefaction plant in the second quarter of 2020, according to the report. The WES AMELIE, owned and managed by Wessels Reederei (Haren/Ems), two years ago retrofitted its MAN 8L48/60B main engine to its current, four-stroke MAN 51/60DF unit that enables dual-fuel operation – the first such conversion of its type, the company says. “We strongly believe that a roadmap based on LNG and SNG as fuels can lead the way to a decarbonized future for shipping and, in Wessels Marine, we have the perfect partner,” said Stefan Eefting, head of MAN PrimeServ in Augsburg. “To bring down future emissions generated in the global-trade supply chain, synthetic fuels play a crucial role. Especially in shipping, the use of batteries alone is not a viable option and any successful decarbonization efforts need to address the fuel.” MAN Energy Solutions commissioned the Werlte-based methanation plant, in partnership with Audi, in 2013. While the 6 MW methanation unit is still the largest of its kind in Europe today, MAN now offers a 50 MW EPC Power-to-X solution to ramp up the generation of synthetic fuel.

The facility commemorated the achievement of 1 million man-hours without any lost time injury (LTI) during the project completion ceremony held recently, attended by Qatar Petroleum and McDermott. One of the most complex offshore projects undertaken at N-KOM to date, the scope involved the fabrication of several large-scale offshore structures such as a topside, offshore jacket, piles, deck extensions, subsea piping spools and subsea valve skids. All constructed on-site at the world-class Erhama Bin Jaber Al Jalahma Shipyard in Ras Laffan Industrial City. It is noteworthy that the 877-tonne topside fabricated by N-KOM is the first and largest to be constructed in Qatar. Nakilat’s Chief Executive Officer Eng. Abdullah Fadhalah Al Sulaiti, said, “This is a proud moment for all of us at Nakilat. 5Distribution : daily to 42.000+ active addresses 14-11-2019 Page 6 DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2019 – 318 I would like to congratulate the entire project team for their dedication and commitmentthat has led to thismilestone achievementand extend my appreciation to our valued partners, Qatar Petroleum and McDermott, for their strong support and trust throughout this period. The timely completion of this major project is an excellent demonstration of our project management team’s capabilities in handling complex, large-scale projects to meet the demands of the local oil and gas industry. Furthermore, it highlights the effectiveness of our incident and injury free (IIF) work culture and safety management systems as we strive to operate to the highest safety and quality standards. Looking ahead, Nakilat looks forward to handle more of such large-scale projects that are made with pride in Qatar, for Qatar, and we are confident of continuing to provide our customers with safe, reliable and efficient services,as espoused with our vision and that of Qatar National Vision 2030.” “This major project completion with N-KOM and Qatar Petroleum is demonstrative of McDermott’s ongoing support for the localization and growth of Qatar’s oil and gas industry. Both of these milestones exemplify what our customers have come to expect from McDermott – project delivery that is executed to the highest safety and quality standards, no matter the scale or complexity,” said Linh Austin, McDermott Senior Vice President, Middle East & North Africa.
