In August 2005 Acergy and SapuraCrest Petroleum of Malaysia entered into an agreement to form a 50:50 Joint Venture to jointly own and operate the Sapura 3000, a new-build heavy lift and pipelay barge.
The Sapura 3000 is designed to be the most advanced deepwater construction ship in the growing Asia Pacific region. The vessel became operational in February 2008.
At an overall length of 151 m, a mastcrane with a 3000 short ton lift capacity and a large clear work deck area, this dynamically positioned heavy lift and pipelay vessel is ideally suited for conventional shallow water pipelay, very deepwater construction projects and topside installations.
Capabilities include conventional S-lay for shallow water and steep S-lay or J-lay for deepwater and steel catenary riser installation, into water depths beyond 2000 m, depending on pipe specification.
