Alternative to Floatover? SIP2 self installing platform combines jacket and deck installation in ONE go! 

SPT Offshore successfully installed the SIP2 barge installed platform jack-up concept for the 10,000 ton Centrica F3FA platform. The concept combines transport and installation of the jacket and topsides deck in ONE offshore campaign. This concept is an atractive alternative to the traditional floatover platforms.
