Fairmount Marine Awarded ENSCO 100 Tow
August 28th, 2007
Following the news that Fairmount Heavy Transport’s heavy lift vessel Fairmount Fjord, currently under conversion at Malta Shipyard, has been hit by a series of delays, and the consequent termination of a transportation contract for the jack-up rig ENSCO 100 from West Africa to Rotterdam, ENSCO has awarded the towage contract for the rig to Fairmount Marine BV.
Fairmount Alpine, one of the Fairmount’s 200 tonne bollard pull ocean-going has been despatched from her location in Cape Town for rendez-vous with the rig in Port Gentil area.
As soon as final preparations to the rig have been completed, the convoy will set sail for Rotterdam to arrive around early October.
