Singapore-based Nortrans Offshore has secured a contract with Saipem, a renowned Italian company, for the Jansz-Io compression project located offshore Western Australia.
For this project, Nortrans Offshore has chartered the 200-person flotel, Belait CSS 1, on a long-term basis. The vessel is currently undergoing drydocking and upgrades at Seatrium Admiralty Yard to ensure it meets the highest industry standards and project-specific requirements for its deployment.
This marks the first project collaboration between Nortrans and the flotel, which will provide dedicated accommodation support for critical personnel transfers during hook-up operations on the Jansz-Io project.
Saipem had previously secured a transportation and installation contract from Chevron Australia for the Jansz-Io project in 2021. The project is part of the larger Gorgon project, encompassing various gas fields. Saipem’s offshore operations were initially scheduled to commence in 2024 using the Constellation vessel.
