InterMoor has completed the marine aspects of Shell's Malikai tension leg platform (TLP) float-off operations.
This time-lapse shows the Malikai topside at 40 metres high being skidded a distance of 90km into place. The feat was the world’s highest operation of its kind performed at that scale for the Shell deepwater project.
This timelapse shows a major milestone just completed on Shell’s Malikai deepwater project in Malaysia. The topside weighs an estimated 13,800 tonnes which is equivalent to weight of 14,000 average family cars.
The topside for oil major Shell’s Malikai tension leg platform have been placed together with the hull at Malaysia Marine & Heavy Engineering’s (MMHE) yard in Malaysia. ALE was awarded the contracts for the Malikai project on behalf of TMJV. The company said it was given the scope of weighing and transporting four unit hull blocks, living quarters and mega beams for the ‘superlift’ activities. In addition ALE was also awarded with the weighing of the topside as well as the mating of the topside and hull.
