Sleipnir installs one of world’s smallest platforms

PRESS RELEASE – Heerema’s Sleipnir has safely installed Dana Petroleum’s new P11-Unity platform, which at 395 metric tons is one of the world’s smallest platforms. The Dutch heavy-lift company was contracted by HSM Offshore, who fabricated the platform at their yard in the port of Rotterdam.

On October 22, Sleipnir safely and sustainably lifted the P11-Unity platform from the vessel’s deck to the seabed, with this operation taking around an hour. P11-Unity will support the development of the Witte de With and Van Ghent East gas accumulations, using a new ‘back-to-basics’ design platform to produce two fields.
