The Stena Carron required emergency repairs offshore as a result of cracks found in the hull and bulwark structure. DF Barnes was recommended by DNV as being the best suited company to carry out the structural repairs. A repair proposal was drafted by DF Barnes and within 5 days of the document submittal the team along with all materials and equipment was mobilized onboard the vessel. The work was completed during the transit from Newfoundland to Aberdeen, duration of project was 24 days and consumed more than 8,000 man-hours. The project was completed on time, safely and within budget. One year later, Stena Drilling requested that DF Barnes mobilize another team to complete the same type of repairs on the Carron’s sister ship Stena Forth, this project involved sailing from Cape town Africa to Trinidad. Again the project was completed on time, safely and within budget.

We fabricated and installed a new crane pedestal and reinstalled the existing crane. This work included all hydraulic and electrical systems. Class certified.

As a result of a collision with an oil rig, this D-Class supply vessel sustained substantial damage to the port stern quarter. DF Barnes was contracted to crop and renew the affected stiffeners and hull plate. All welding was 100% VT, MPI, and UT inspected. Affected ballast tanks were pneumatically pressure tested and witnessed by Lloyd’s surveyor.

We have successfully completed several large and small refits on a number of rigs including: Henry Goodrich, GSF Grandbanks, Rowan Gorilla 6, West Aquarius. Our project teams were responsible for both planning and execution of these projects. Labour hours were in the range of 50,000 to 300,000 man-hours. To date all projects have been completed without LTI’s. Scope included: • Pipe renewals – Carbon and Stainless, high and low pressure • Structure repairs and upgrades • Mechanical repairs and upgrades • Electrical repairs and upgrades
