Technip’s deepwater pipelay and heavy lift vessel Global 1200 entered the drydock at Damen Ship Repair Rotterdam (DSR) last month for a major upgrade, according to a statement by Damen today.
The prolific Dutch shipbuilder says the vessel’s dynamic positioning system and pipelay equipment will be upgraded and a Special Periodic Survey conducted while in the drydock. The vessel is classed by the American Bureau of Shipping.

The vessel is able to work in waters up to 3,000 meters deep while handling up to 60 inch OD concrete coated pipe. It’s main crane has a 1200 metric ton capacity.
