Dutch heavy-lift specialist Mammoet and engineering consortium Techint-Technip, or CTTP76, are to assist with integration and lifting operations for 20 modules for the hull of a Brazilian offshore vessel.

The partners will provide expertise for  complex installation procedures on energy firm Petrobras’ planned P-76 Floating Production, Storage and Offloading, or FPSO, vessel.

Both firms will provide specialized heavy-lifting expertise for the transportation and lifting of the modules, which each weigh up to 1,935 tonnes. Mammoet will supply its PTC 200-DS ring crane for the lifting operation and the crane itself will be disassembled and transported from the USA to Brazil in containers.

Integration work will be executed at the Techint UOT offshore yard  in the city of Paranaguá in Paraná State, Brazil.

“Although Mammoet Brazil and CTTP76 have only just signed the contract, Mammoet’s large fleet and global presence make it possible to start mobilization immediately. We are very pleased with the award of this high profile contract and we look forward to working with the highly dedicated project team of CTTP76,” , said Michel Booden, Mammoet Latin America sales director.
