Trelleborg delivers floatover equipment for Petronas’ field off Malaysia

Trelleborg’s engineered products operation has completed the supply of floatover equipment for Petronas’ NC3 gas field, offshore Malaysia.

The NC3 field is located in Block SK316, 200 kilometers North of Bintulu, a Malaysian coastal town on the island of Borneo.

Trelleborg said on Monday that the company provided Pape Engineering, an engineering company responsible for the transportation and installation of the platform jacket and topside, with four Leg Mating Units (LMUs), as well as four sway fenders, four loadout pads and four deck support units (DSU).

Olivier Beauclair, Director for Platform Transportation and Installation at Pape, said: “Having worked closely with Trelleborg to great success on previous projects, we know that they’re able to supply proven quality solutions with considerable ease of use and offer quick turnaround times – both imperative for a high-stakes project like Petronas’ NC3.

“In addition, Trelleborg site service engineers were able to provide supervised on-site support, ensuring a seamless LMU installation within the topside of the Central Processing Platform.”

Trelleborg said the LMU installation was performed at the fabrication yard before the floatover process.

Vincent Tan, Sales and Marketing Manager at Trelleborg’s engineered products operation, said: “Our manufacturing facility in Singapore ensured that PAPE had the local ‘feet on the ground’ support, whenever it was needed.”
