Today around noon, the completed module left onboard of Heerema Marine Contractors’ Barge H-408 on a 5,800 kilometers long journey.

Upon arrival at the Tyra field, the utility and living quarters will be installed by the world’s largest crane vessel Sleipnir, adding yet another key piece to Tyra II – Denmark’s new high-tech hub for natural gas production.

“The sail-away of the new Tyra II utility and living quarters is another significant milestone for the Tyra Redevelopment Project. It marks the successful conclusion to our close collaboration with Rosetti Marino. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic challenges, our teams have demonstrated impressive resilience and strong performance by delivering the completed module with zero accidents”, says Lars Bo Christiansen, Tyra Redevelopment Deputy Project Director for TotalEnergies EP Denmark.

The Tyra II utility and living quarters is one out of the five remaining modules – including the processing module and three Tyra West well head and riser modules – to be installed and powered up before the gas field is back onstream.
