Late on Wednesday, preparations were underway to transfer the Gyda platform to the Aker yard in Stord for disposal, Allseas informed in a social media post that day.
Only hours after removing the 18,400-tonne former drilling and production facility from the southern North Sea, the company’s giant Pioneering Spirit vessel arrived in Norway.
According to Allseas, this operation was made possible by its motion compensation and single-lift systems, adding that 2022 promises to be a record year with dozens of offshore lifts on the horizon. This also includes the massive Gyda jacket, which is planned to be removed later this summer.
