Offshore staff
SCOTLAND — Motive Offshore Group has secured a six-figure contract with Briggs Marine to design and manufacture a 300Te spooler package.
The new equipment will allow Briggs Marine to future-proof its planned operations with the spooler set to be deployed across eight UK renewable projects within the next two years.
Briggs Marine required a robust integrated solution that could be safely transported via road and withstand 300Te of cable for installation across UK offshore cable infrastructure projects. Motive suggested a bespoke spooler design, deviating from a conventional reel drive system, which the company said yielded significant time and cost savings, including a reduction in carbon emissions from transportation. By opting for a spooler, Motive reduced the number of trucks required for transportation from 10 to three.
Motive will design a fully specialized package including the manufacture of a spooling winch and level wind, which will be controlled via one system, minimizing personnel requirements.
It will also supply a control cabin that provides an emergency stop option for the safety of personnel during operations in harsh offshore conditions.
In addition, Briggs Marine will have access to Motive’s training facilities in Boyndie, Banff.
