Upon completion, the system will be located in the Gulf Coast, to facilitate the handling of umbilicals from transportation vessels onto the Carousel, and with the ability to store up to three separate steel tube umbilicals for projects in the region.
Ronald Smith, CEO of Deep Down, said: “We got involved in this project to help one of our umbilical manufacturing customers better support their customer; this solution will offer more flexibility to the operator and installation contractor.
“This carousel is being built as an asset of Deep Down, and we will be providing the support services as a part of the contract to support a world leader in the design and manufacturing of steel umbilicals. The carousel is designed to be used onshore, on a transportation barge or on an installation contractor’s subsea construction vessel.”
