Roll Group has completed a heavy transport and load-out operation at Seatrium’s Admiralty Yard in Singapore, supporting Seatrium with the movement of a 2,500-tonne Deck Support Frame (DSF) and the subsequent topside weighing, jacking and final load-out.

The project included engineering and execution of the DSF transport operation, covering mooring, ballasting, grillage and seafastening. The scope also involved the deployment of self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), ballast equipment, RoRo ramps, fenders and winches.

After the barge was relocated between quay locations, the project team positioned the 2,500-tonne DSF beneath the topside. Following integration of the topside and the DSF, the combined structure reached 15,000 tonnes before the final load-out phase.

The final stage involved engineering and execution of the topside load-out. Roll Group used breakout jacks and strand jack systems for both the load-out and retrieval operations while also carrying out the mooring engineering and calculations required for the heavy transport vessel.

RigCo will fund the work from existing cash. The drillship and jack-up are expected in 2027 and 2028, respectively, while construction plans for the two semi-submersibles remain under assessment.
Seatrium's work includes equipment integration, mechanical completion and pre-commissioning, with the first Whale Class vessel targeted to reach its Singapore yard in December 2027.
