George Fisher, ACE chief executive officer, said: “The unprecedented Covid-19 situation presented significant challenges given the travel restrictions in place, but our in-house project management and offshore teams worked effectively with the client and managed to come through and overcome them.”
Gavin Stephen, TechnipFMC project maanger, said: “The shore pull was completed successfully on time with no accidents or incidents and zero breakdown of equipment.
“This was an incredible achievement for all parties concerned taking into account the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic at the time.”
