Fairstar FORTE achieves scheduled floatation milestone
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Fairstar Heavy Transport N.V. (FAIR) reports the 50,000 DWT semi-submersible
vessel FORTE was floated away from the flooded dry-dock facility in Qidong,
China on schedule, September 18(th) 2011.
Willem Out, Chief Operating Officer of Fairstar, reported from Qidong "the FORTE
was a magnificent sight as it floated out.
Guangzhou Shipbuilding International (GSI) continues to impress us with their
commitment to meeting milestones on schedule. All of the major equipment has
been installed in the vessel. Most of the piping spools have been fitted and a
significant amount of cables have been pulled.
The Fairstar Site Team will continue to work closely with our partners as we
continue towards the start of the commissioning process.
The formal naming ceremony of the FORTE will occur after we complete sea trials
in April 2012. The FORTE will play a critical role in the transportation of
modules for the Gorgon LNG Project in 2012. We are confident that Fairstar will
meet its contractual undertaking to provide the FORTE on time for Gorgon."
