MIGHTY SHIPS — NORTH SEA GIANT

She is one of the largest subsea construction ships in the world. The North Sea Giant – this boat can do anything and now her mission is to build a factory three hundred meters below the surface. It is a job that requires special cranes, submarines and nerves of steel – the project costs billions of dollars – a project that world has never seen before. When it comes to subsea construction, there can be no option better than North Sea Giant.

Her specialty is installing massive components for the oil and gas facilities on the ocean floor. She stands forty-six meters above the water and stretches one hundred and sixty-one meters from bow to stern. A state-of-the-art propeller system enables her to turn swiftly and she has seven cranes for lifting and lowering cargo into the sea. The North Sea Giant is undisputed flagship in the North Sea Shipping fleet.

The captain of the ship leads the team of one hundred and fourteen crew, including contractors and technicians. The capabilities and equipment of the vessel are impressive. For the past eight months North Sea Giant has been working off the coast of Norway on the most ambitious undersea construction project ever - the world’s first underwater natural gas compression station.
