GABON : DPS RENOVATES 5000-TONNE UNIT FOR ENERGY CLIENT
DPS, a shipyard based in Port-Gentil and a subsidiary of the AGL group, recently carried out a major renovation operation of a Tamesis jackup, a 5000-ton shipbuilding and lifting unit, on behalf of its client DIXSTONE.
The work carried out as part of this operation includes the certification of two cranes, boilermaking and welding work on the bridge, the installation of a new winch foundation, the renovation of the paint and piping work. These technical interventions have made it possible to refurbish this mobile platform, used in the offshore industry, mainly for offshore drilling, construction and maintenance activities.
