Rigs to hotels refits for Alewijnse
Alewijnse Marine Systems is to play a significant role in the conversion of the jack-up drill rigs Atlantic London and Atlantic Amsterdam to offshore hotel accommodation. Both refits started last month.
This significant order from Nordica Offshore further reinforces the position that Alewijnse has developed in the offshore refit and retrofit market.
Both projects will involve the complete removal of the drilling installation from each rig, including the drilling tower, sliding piece, cement and mud tanks, as well as all the remaining drilling equipment and redundant cabling and piping.
Meanwhile new accommodation blocks will be built which will be placed on the decks, while the existing accommodation facilities will be completely refurbished and new life saving boats with equipment installed.
The projects will be supervised by Alewijnse Marine Rotterdam and Alewijnse Retec Romania, part of Alewijnse Marine Systems. The turnaround time is expected to be several months with completion due mid-November 2012.
