Dutch salvage company Smit Salvage, under the Boskalis Group, has won a contract for the company to raise a defunct jack-up platform that sank to the bottom in July 2013 off the coast of Angola, says the company in a press release.
During the installation of the platform near a so-called pigging platform, the unit took an unfortunate hit, after which it broke and sank 30 meters to the bottom. The contract to raise the platform follows a period of extensive surveys of the location, and other preparatory measures performed by the Boskalis investigative unit as well as Smit Salvage in September 2013.
