Our customer had finished construction of their large-scale offshore oil rig. From plan to the last screw, it had been built by their dedicated engineers at a construction yard in Ulsan, South Korea.

Needless to say, construction is just one part of a large undertaking when it comes to offshore platforms. The next step would be an even bigger requirement in every sense of the word.

The platform was going to be deployed in the North Sea – which would involve towing the platform 500 nautical miles across the world and is the biggest platform to have been towed to the UK North Sea Continental shelf for 23 years.

The logistics of such a move would be expertly handled by our customer as they were well versed in such a task. But ensuring the platform was in tip top shape by the time it arrived at its new home?

Without the necessary dehumidification equipment and expertise onboard to carefully maintain the core electrical and battery rooms, the months spent out at sea risked the asset being damaged by moisture, so they needed to find a solution to ensure the platform was delivered in immaculate condition to the customer.
