DGC Wins Contract

Deep Gulf Contractors (DGC) was awarded a contract by British-Borneo Exploration Inc. for the transport and installation of four comple- tion guide bases and to keel haul four subsea trees to drilling rig Ocean Endeavor for the

Morpeth Field development. DGC will perform this work using anchor handling vessels equipped with special A-frames. The 50-ton completion guide bases will be transported to the field on the stern of anchor handling vessel

Sea Aker Star. On site, they will be lifted out over the stern using the A-frame and then low- ered down and positioned on the seabed. The 25-ton subsea trees will be transported to the field on an anchor handling vessel.

On-Site Approval Speeds Australian

Shipbuilding

According to George Spiliotis, principal surveyor for Germanischer Lloyd (GL) (Australia) Pty. Ltd., the approval of vessel plans on-site in the shipyard where they are being built is speeding up the construction on fast ships in Australia. "On-site plan approvals, decided on a case- by-case basis, greatly reduce the time required for class approvals and faciliate better commu- nications between all parties involved," said Mr.

Spiliotis. Normal practice among class soci- eties has been to approve plans at either the society's office in any particular country, or for the plans to be submitted to the society's head office. "Experts from the High Speed

Craft (HSC) department at the Head

Office of Germanischer Lloyd have already carried out plan approvals on site in the West Austrlian ship- yard of Austal Ships," said Mr.

Spiliotis, who added that this had been the case with semi-SWATH catamarans built at Austal, and will also be applied to three fast ships for

Turkish and Greek interests to be built at Austal.
