Rotterdam 20/12/2011 – Over the last few months De Hoop has designed and build a 60 person / 4-deck SBBA (Single Block Barge Accomodation) for Global Marine Systems. Today a special lift-operation was performed in the Rotterdam harbour as the almost 500 ton weighing SBBA for Global Marine was lifted on the pontoon ‘Smit Anambas’. The operation was performed in close cooperation with Dutch firm ‘Mammoet’ and went succesful. The placement of this fully self supporting accomodation block is part of the conversion of the Smit Anambas into a cale lay vessel for the North Sea. Various components will be installed by De Hoop in Rotterdam,the rest will be installed in the UK in Januari.
