New anchoring contract in the LNG market

Scana-owned Seasystems has secured yet another contract for anchoring equipment and analysis within the LNG market.

“This is a major contract for us, and it once again confirms the leading expertise our engineers have in robust and cost-effective anchoring systems. We are, of course, very pleased with another important contract in this segment,” says Torkjell Lisland, Managing Director of Seasystems AS.

Key delivery

The contract has been signed with a well-known European company, while the end client and vessel location are in Russia. The delivery includes the design and analysis of the entire anchoring system, as well as hull modification engineering to meet class requirements.

The physical delivery consists of 12 so-called DACS (Dual Axis Chain Stoppers), with corresponding hull brackets. These will be installed on a converted accommodation barge that will now serve as a support vessel for floating LNG storage units.

Production of the hull brackets and chain stoppers is scheduled for December, and delivery will take place in the second quarter of 2022. The system is based on technology the company already supplies to the aquaculture industry, floating wind power, and the oil sector.

Ambitions in the green energy transition

Seasystems has a clear strategy to become a major player within its segment during the green energy transition and is continuously entering new markets.

“The transition to green energy takes time. Many view gas as an intermediate phase, so it’s naturally positive to secure contracts in the LNG segment while we wait for the green shift to truly gain momentum,” says Styrk Bekkenes, CEO of Scana.
