Royal IHC has successfully installed the high-capacity J-lay tower onboard McDermott International’s AMAZON vessel. This was an extremely complex operation which involved several industry partners to ensure the operation was executed safely and successfully.

The physical modifications of the AMAZON have comprised of the removal of the existing pipelay system and the installation of a new J-lay system with a top dynamic capacity of 1,500 tonnes. Once complete, the J-lay system will be able to handle every variety of pipe including normal flowlines, export lines, and various pipe-in-pipe configurations which makes the AMAZON a key enabling asset within the McDermott fleet.
