Heavy Lifting Engineer Job in Delft, Zuid Holland Netherlands

In June 2010, Allseas awarded the contract for building its 382-m long, 117-m wide dynamically positioned (DP) platform installation / decommissioning and pipelay vessel Pieter Schelte  to the Korean shipyard Daewoo.

Long-lead items, such as the power generation equipment, the thrusters and the DP system, were ordered in 2007. In 2008, the high-tensile steel for the jacket and topsides lift systems was ordered. The detail design of the hull was completed in May 2010, while the lift systems and the pipelay system are foreseen to be ordered in the spring and summer of 2011.

When built, Pieter Schelte  will have a topsides lift capacity of 48,000 t and a jacket lift capacity of 25,000 t. The pipelay tension capacity will be 2,000 t, doubling the capacity of Allseas’ Solitaire  and thereby surpassing her as the world’s largest pipelay vessel.

Delivery of the completed single-lift and pipelay vessel is expected at the end of 2013, ready for offshore operations in early 2014.
