UTEC At Work Off Africa
Lowestoft UK based underwater services contractor UTEC and partners Nutec West Africa Ltd have secured a contract to install a 2km long outfall pipe as part of the $95 million Kolre Lagoon Ecological Restoration Project in Ghana. UTECs versatile survey vessel MV Goosander is key to the four month contract now underway, providing a base for the installation of over 500 five ton concrete weights through to the final pipeline installation.
The new facility is the TriPort Container Terminal in the inland port’s Kaiserwoerthhafen and it will handle 200,000 TEUs a year when it running at full capacity. That, say officials, is the equivalent of 400 truck loads a day.
