Offshore Support and Construction

The South Quay of the Port was custom built in 1974 to meet the demands of the offshore industry. Until 1986 it was solely used as an offshore support facility but now caters for both commercial and oil related shipping.

Facilities available include fabrication and engineering workshops, open storage, fabrication yards, office accommodation, warehousing, silo pads, waste oil reclamation.

A wide range of companies have used the facilities on South Quay, including Shell, Hamilton Brothers, Brown & Root, Deminex, Marathon, Total AOCI, Amoco, Britoil, Chevron, Coflexip, Drexel, Merpro, Monsanto, Mobil, Occidental, Ranger, Texaco, BP, Viking Marine, Vetco, Transocean and Dowell Schlumberger.

Projects undertaken during this time include the hook-ups of the MCPO1 (Total) Brent 'C' (Shell) and the Fulmar 'A' (Shell) and the fabrication and load outs of offshore accommodation modules including the load out of a 615 tonne two-storey module with heli-deck for Arco's Thames project.

Other projects handled on the South Quay include pipe laying, support, the servicing, fabrication and load out of risers, pipe spools, jointing testing and load out of umbilicals, mobilising/de-mobilising of vessels and general offshore shipping operations.
