Looking back at a successful Offshore Energy Exhibition
Combifloat and Oceanteam Cable Solutions were exhibiting at Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference in the Amsterdam RAI last month.This yearly event provided an excellent venue for networking with partners and friends from the industry.

OCS acquires additional offshore carousel
Oceanteam Cable Solutions (OCS) has recently acquired an additional offshore carousel thereby steadily increasing its capabilities. The carousel currently has 5500t capacity, with the potential to further increase and is being prepared for deployment. Its modularity and dimensions make it suitable for economic deployment globally in the renewables and oil and gas umbilicals market.
This increases OCS’s carousel fleet to 30,000t capacity, supplemented with all required secondary equipment to provide multiple transport spreads simultaneously.
“Given the multiple contract awards in our first half year since the acquisition of OCS as well as specific clients requests, we are pleased to execute the first acquisition of a carousel.” Says Jaap Jan Pietersen, MD of the Combifloat Group.
C7 bearing spud barge deployed
Combifloat has been supporting a large heavy lift contractor on Windplan Blauw over summer. Like before, the jacking systems of a C-7 series modular jack up have been retrofitted on a barge for stabilization and fixation (‘bearing spud mode’), allowing the contractor to deploy a large crawler crane to install wind turbines. Previously a similar approach was taken for windfarm Fryslan. Another good example of this application was seen in Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea Development Project as featured online and below.

Oceanteam Cable Solutions is scaling up
Over summer Bas Hermes (on the picture left) joined the Oceanteam Cable Solutions team as manager Operations. Bas brings along a wealth of ops & tech knowledge and skills as well as a problem solving approach. Something that was instantly visible on the recent vessel mobilizations. While currently renovating his home, Bas has most recently worked for Eerland Shiprepair and held various roles with Boskalis earlier. His appointment is another important step of rejuvenating OCS.
Umbilicals enroute!
Our team recently achieved a major milestone by successfully loading umbilicals using Oceanteam Cable Solutions equipment spread. The equipment spread used for this operation included a 4000t carousel, extended umbilical loading tower, 10t track tensioner, and three unit hydraulic packs (HPU).
The operation was executed in a fast-track manner, with minimal downtime and maximum efficiency. We are proud of our team for delivering this exceptional result and demonstrating our capabilities in the offshore industry.

Completion of loading of C-7 for the Caribbean
In direct continuation following its last employment where she was deployed with an bespoke overhang, our C-7 jack up barge was loaded in Moerdijk, NL in May and underway to the Caribbean for its next charter.
The platform will support a key marine contractor in the region on a variety of scopes like geotechnical and piling works.
