Safety first on construction vessel Aegir

In the offshore industry, safety is paramount. On construction vessel Aegir, which belongs to the fleet of Heerema Marine Contractors, a safe working environment for the crew must be guaranteed at all times. The applied Bolideck^® system meets all requirements in the area of security and helps to prevent unsafe situations.

Heerema and Bolidt

Heerema is an innovator in the offshore industry. The Heerema Group - founded in 1948 by Pieter Schelte Heerema - specializes in the design and construction of offshore facilities with Aegir being its showcase. A construction vessel like the Aegir must meet several specific requirements in the field of offshore technology: complex infrastructures and pipelines are often built in very deep water but on the other hand the vessel needs sufficient lifting capacity to install fixed platforms in relatively shallow water.

In addition to the technical capacities, safety is of course of paramount importance. The Bolideck^® system installed replaced the existing tiles, which had become detached as a result of ingress of water. The seamless Bolideck is waterproof, shockproof, impact resistant and meets all safety requirements. This deck has replaced the previously existing tiles, which had become detached as a result of ingress of water. Bolideck^® is waterproof, shock proof and impact resistant. Also, the floor system is easy to clean and slip resistant. The latter ensures a safe working environment for the Aegir crew.

In the past Heerema and Bolidt successfully worked together on the deep-water construction vessels Thialf and Balder. This newly applied Bolideck system shows Heerema’s ongoing confidence in Bolidt.
