Pipelay and accommodation vessel docks in CT for refurbs
The Jascon 30, a DP3 pipelay and accommodation vessel owned by the Dubai-based Telford Offshore, recently underwent refurbishment and refabricating work at Transnet National Port Authority’s Port of Cape Town Sturrock Dry Dock. The work was carried out by repair company, Dormac Marine & Engineering.
Ship repair manager at the Port of Cape Town, Zwelisha Khuzwayo, said employees went the extra mile to dock the vessel, which is an essential asset in subsea pipe laying exercises for oil companies. “It was docked safely using an alternative mechanism as the port is intensifying its maintenance programme on the Capstans and going ahead with the replacement of Capstans in all dry docks as part of Operation Phakisa,” he said.
Following repairs the vessel will be deployed for use across the globe under its new name. Until earlier this month it was known as Telford 30.
TNPA is investing significantly to restore ship repair facilities with the intention of stimulating the repair sector to accommodate a greater volume of work and position its ship repair facilities to be globally competitive.
The port authority’s Operation Phakisa investments in Cape Town include R950 million allocated to modernise the port’s ageing facilities including the Robinson Dry Dock, the Repair Pier and Sturrock Dry Dock, and the Syncrolift.
TNPA also announced earlier this year that the Sturrock Dock would receive a new floating caisson as part of the overhaul, which will enable one of the biggest dry docks in the Southern Hemisphere to improve efficiency.
