BP s giant Argos offshore platform, to be used for the Mad Dog 2 development in the Gulf of Mexico, was this week loaded on Boskalis BOKA Vanguard vessel in South Korea and is preparing set sail for the U.S.
According to Boskalis, the Dutch marine services contractor, the giant Argos floating production unit weighing nearly 70,000 tons was floated onto Boskalis semi-submersible heavy transport vessel BOKA Vanguard on Tuesday. The vessel was submerged well over 29 meters to make this happen. After years of engineering and preparation, a first impressive operational milestone in transportation from Korea to the USA was reached, Boskalis said.
