Under the first voyage, Jumbo will transport the anchor piles and bottom chains to the field. There, theFairplayer will install the anchor piles using the template, hammer, and ROVs. Bottom chains will then be pre-tensioned and laid out on the seabed.
For the second voyage, the vessel will load various reels with spiral strand wire and the top chains. Offshore the crew will connect the chain and wire and place them on the seabed to be picked up for the FPSO hook up.
Jumbo is main contractor for theEnQuest Producer installation project, with Boskalis Offshore subcontracted for the tow-out and hookup.
