Seajacks reported that on February 26th 2012, Seajacks Kraken completed 1000 days without a lost time incident. This achievement marks a significant milestone in Seajacks’ goal to create an incident and injury free environment and demonstrates the company’s on-going commitment to promote best working practices in the offshore industry.
Seajacks Kraken, a self-propelled jack-up vessel, was constructed by Lamprell Energy in Dubai and was delivered on time and on budget in 2009. Since it began work, the vessel has successfully completed contracts for ExxonMobil, TAQA Energy BV and recently completed a 15 month contract with DONG Energy for the installation of wind turbines on the Walney Offshore Wind Farm, the world’s largest offshore wind farm to date. The vessel is currently working on one of the largest well repair and maintenance campaigns in the Southern North Sea with NAM and Shell UK Limited.
Blair Ainslie, Managing Director of Seajacks UK , said, “This is a particularly significant accomplishment given the various challenges the Company has had to deal with, including making major modifications to the vessel for operations in both the offshore wind and oil and gas sectors. This outstanding achievement is the result of Seajacks’ dedicated staff and we will continue to be vigilant in maintaining this exemplary record.”
