Clamp Handling System

Working to a tight deadline, Red Marine delivered a Subsea Clamp Han- dling System on an eight-week fast-track project for a U.S. based pro- vider of subsea riserless light well intervention services. The equipment was manufactured by Bollinger Shipyards with a Red Marine engineer onsite for engineering support and input. With a working load limit of 15 tons, the system is used to facilitate the installation of a Red Marine supplied umbilical clamp during well intervention operations. Between operations, the handling system can also be used to provide a safe stor- age and maintenance location for the clamp. www.redmarine.com
