H-407

Postby creemaster » Sun Jul 30, 2023 5:12 pm

Heerema barge H-407 arrived 25th in tow of Italian tug ERECLEA
She has the topsides of ENSIGN and AUDREY rigs with a jacket (legs) between them
The jacket and ENSIGN topside have since been rolled off the barge and moved to an area at the back of Battleship Wharf for decommissioning
This will be carried out by Thompson's of Prudhoe who have a licence to recycle redundant pieces of oil and gas hardware
Close up they are smaller than you would expect but you cannot get a good look at them from the adjacent road as there is a bund between you and them
Regards
Graham

Waiting at Bates last Thursday for the tug ERACLEA to bring her sister barge, H-408, with more decommissioned North Sea tat and then take her away
