Singapore-based Nortrans Offshore has been awarded a contract with Italian giant Saipem for work on the Jansz-Io compression project offshore Western Australia.
As part of this project, the company took the 200-person flotel Belait CSS 1 on a long-term bareboat charter.
This is the flotel’s first project with Nortrans which is currently undergoing drydocking and upgrades at Seatrium Admiralty Yard in preparation for this significant deployment. These enhancements will ensure the vessel meets the highest industry standards and project-specific requirements.
Nortrans and the floatel will provide dedicated accommodation support for critical personnel transfers during hook-up operations on the project.
Saipem secured a transportation and installation contract from Chevron Australia for the Jansz-lo project back in 2021. Jansz-lo is part of the Gorgon project, comprising various producing gas fields. At the time, it was said that Saipem’s offshore operations were supposed to start in 2024 using the Constellation vessel.
