Total: delays at project in Norway.
(CercleFinance.com) - Following the tragic accident at the Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) Geoje yard in South Korea on 1 May, Total has assessed the status of some of its projects given that the yard is being used for construction works related to three of its major projects: Martin Linge (Norway), Egina (Nigeria), Ichthys (Australia).
“All works at the yard were suspended for several days in order to give absolute priority to the investigation, provide psychological support to the workers and review lessons learned before restarting activities,” said Arnaud Breuillac, President, Exploration & Production at Total.
Following the accident, works related to the Martin Linge project were suspended until 1 June. As a result, the shipping of the Martin Linge modules from the South Korean yard to Norway will be delayed. The installation of the modules and lifting operations, which can only be carried out during summertime given weather conditions in the Norwegian North Sea, had initially been planned for summer 2017 but have now been postponed to summer 2018.
