With their vessels near to completion at Lamprell's shipyard in Dubai, Seajacks themselves view the contracts as a resounding confirmation of confidence in their business and vessels.
Both of the Seajacks vessels are state of the art, self-propelled liftboats, commissioned for their ability to perform under environmentally harsh conditions. These versatile jack-ups are designed to be utilised in the oil and gas industry and the offshore renewable energy sectors.
Seajacks first vessel, The Kraken, is contracted to ExxonMobil in Canada and will initially work as the offshore accommodation unit for the Sable Project located offshore of Nova Scotia, Canada before returning to the North Sea.
