The former FPSO Northern Endeavour has arrived at Frederikshavn in Denmark, where M.A.R.S. will carry out its decommissioning.

The project was commissioned by the Commonwealth of Australia. COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Transport oversaw the transportation using the semi-submersible heavy transport vessel Hua Rui Long. Towage and logistics were handled by 9 Oceans B.V. together with Multraship Towage & Salvage, Fairplay and Svitzer. At Frederikshavn, M.A.R.S. teams supported the operation with on-site preparation and operational support.

The next stage will start with detailed mapping and hazard assessment for the 43,000 DWT vessel. Cleaning and decontamination will follow before dismantling and recycling begin at a dedicated facility.

M.A.R.S. said it will work with Australian authorities and project partners to maintain health, safety and environmental standards throughout the program. The company expects around 95% of the vessel’s materials to be recycled, with recovered metals to be reused in European mills.
