Robust performance in tough offshore environments

Fixed Offshore Structures
Offshore oil and gas developments in shallow to medium
water often involve the construction and installation
of a fixed platform. These structures vary in size and
complexity, but all of them are constructed onshore
after which they need to be transported and installed
at the offshore location. Our customers then face a
number of challenges. What’s the best way to transport
and install their valuable equipment? Will the volume
and complexity of interchanges/faces overwhelm their
project? Will the structures be installed in accordance
with agreed schedules?
Heerema Marine Contractors provides world-class expertise for transportation and installation services of any size – from shallow water installations to deep water facilities and from light to ultra-heavy. We operate offshore lift vessels that combine single and dual crane possibilities with horizontal and vertical jacket lift abilities. And we do this in the toughest of marine environments.
Our customers work with us because of our unique ability to deliver well-engineered, risk-assessed transportation and installation services for offshore structures combined with our reputation of always delivering up to our commitments. In all cases, our vessels, cranes and expertise operate together to create thoroughly thought-out execution plans for one cohesive installation operation. This provides cost-benefits, enables predictable delivery times and facilitates the
achievement of the planned first oil date.
The challenges of fixed offshore structures
High performance, from light to ultra-heavy installation services
Heerema has a large and highly versatile fleet of
specialized vessels and equipment, providing
unmatched execution redundancy and flexibility.
Our vessels provide 95% year-round workability for
shorter, more predictable schedules. And our assets
are fully-owned, which means that our customers enjoy
the comfort of commitment from the party that truly
controls their schedules and capabilities.
For example, our SSCV Thialf has the highest single
and dual crane lift capacity in the world. And our new
semi-submersible crane vessel Sleipnir will be unveiled
in 2019, providing optimized operability, speed and
versatility and even more lift capacity and lift volume
above and below the waterline, and below the crane
boom.
Unique assets for strength and flexibility

A commitment to continuous innovation
Across six decades, Heerema has demonstrated
commitment to innovation in a variety of areas. When
it comes to assets, we moved from monohull to semi-
submersible vessels. When it comes to operations, we
expanded from single to dual crane operations and
simultaneous single crane operations, we drove piles in
the deepest of waters, and we performed floatovers up
to 50,000 mT. When it comes to sustainability, we now
capture energy from lowering loads, and our Sleipnir
will be LNG-powered with dual fuel capabilities. And
we have done this while working closely with our
customers to create innovative execution and contract
approaches that deliver predictability and confidence.

Heerema’s customers demand – and deserve – project
transparency. Heerema is fully owned and operated,
which provides us with neutrality and independence as
we work with fabricators, design houses, certification
authorities, governments and, of course, our
customers. We encourage our customers to involve
us (and other key contractors) as early as possible in
the project to align approaches and expectations from
the start.
Our projects: collaborative and transparent

Working effectively in tough marine environments
demands more than simply knowing what to do. It
requires experience, dedication – and above all, people
– to get things done. Our people are trained in every
aspect of offshore construction, and they have the
proactive ability to mitigate unforeseen issues before
they become a problem. We work with trusted partners
who deliver on their promises and offer experience and
expertise of their own. And the entire team continuously
strives to achieve meet all timeline, technical, safety and
environmental issues – in any environment.
Our people: turning assets into strong, flexible T&I solutions
A commitment to safety
Heerema has one of the best safety records in the
industry, and we are committed to maintaining an
injury and incident-free (IIF) workplace. We start
with our assets, which provide unparalleled safety for
both people and equipment. HMC is committed to
maintaining an Incident and Injury Free (IIF) workplace
at all times. Our IIF program includes regular training
sessions for all operational personnel, and we
continuously raise awareness about the need to uphold
recognized safety standards. During projects, we work
hard to identify and eliminate any foreseeable hazards,
taking the utmost care to prevent incidents that could
result in personal injury, illness, or damage to property
and the environment. As a result, Heerema has one of
the best safety records in the industry. Your project is
