Shipyard access equipment contracts for Harsco

These include orders to support large-scale requirements in the shipyard maintenance sector. Harsco will provide scaffolding and access equipment services through the main contractor Keppel Verolme for maintenance of two major deepwater construction vessels, including the Heerema Marine Contractors’ SSCV Thialf, said to be the largest crane vessel in the world, as well as the Scarabeo 6, a semi-submersible drilling rig owned and operated by Saipem. Harsco also won the order for delivering access services for another large crane vessel, DSV Balder, this time working directly for Heerema Marine Contractors. Harsco says that these orders continue its growing role in the specialised maritime maintenance sector and add to Harsco’s previously-announced scaffolding support of the Saipem 7000, the world’s second largest deepwater crane vessel.
