VIDEO: GeoSea’s jack-up vessel tidal trials

DEME Group has released a video of its GeoSea jack-up vessel during tests at Raz Blanchard, off France.

GeoSea’s jack-up vessel Goliath operated in currents of up to 10 knots (approximately 5 m/s) and water depths, under hull, of 56 meters.

Specific operating models as well as procedural and technical improvements have been developed to enable the use of the GeoSea’s jack-up platforms and vessels in strong tidal race areas.

Upon the completion of the trials, DEME Group stated that the demonstrated practical experience under the extreme tidal conditions should give confidence to developers and project owners alike to use cost effective jack-up platforms and vessels for the realization of their tidal projects.
