CoreMarine & Jumbo awarded landmark project

0

CoreMarine & Jumbo Offshore are proud to announce the award of a significant contract to perform the transport and installation of the soft-yoke (SSY) mooring systems, and hook-up of both the Hilli Episeyo FLNG and MKII FLNG vessels, in Argentina’s Golfo San Matías.

The award represents a major milestone for both companies as well as a breakthrough project for Argentina’s gas sector as it ramps up in export capabilities.

The contract has been awarded by Southern Energy S.A. (SESA), supported by a world-class international consortium comprising Pan American Energy, YPF, Pampa Energía, Harbour Energy, and Golar LNG. Together, the partners are advancing one of Argentina’s most strategically important energy developments to date.

CoreMarine and Jumbo Offshore will deliver the project through a fully integrated execution model that combines project management engineering, transportation, offshore installations and hook-up.

As lead contractor, CoreMarine will contract Jumbo Offshore to transport and install the SSY mooring system including heavy lift and piling activities. Jumbo Offshore are the leading global experts in soft-yoke installations and have extensive experience with such systems in Brazil and Cameroon. CoreMarine will follow-up with diving and construction activities including spool installation, ballasting, riser hook-up, pre-commissioning, positioning and hook-up of both FLNG units.

The offshore campaign will involve complex, simultaneous operations including heavy lifting, riser installation, piling, spool installation, saturation diving, and multi-vessel SIMOPS. The project will require the chartering of multiple assets including DSV’s, support vessels and station keeping tugs.

The SSY systems, supplied by NOV, will enable both FLNG units to weathervane around a single mooring point, aligning with environmental forces and providing a robust, cost-efficient solution that eliminates the need for fixed infrastructure such as jetties.

CoreMarine and Jumbo Offshore both commenced project management and engineering in January 2026. The Hilli Episeyo FLNG is scheduled for installation in 2027, followed by the MKII FLNG in 2028, marking the first application of SSY technology in Argentine waters.

Commenting on the award, Ben Fitzgerald, CEO of CoreMarine, said:“ Projects like this are at the top end of offshore construction complexity. Moving, positioning, and permanently installing floating assets of this scale demands absolute precision, proven experience, and flawless execution offshore. This is where CoreMarine and Jumbo Offshore will make a real difference. Our objective is not just to deliver two FLNG installations, but to leave behind strong local capability, confidence, and a proven model for future offshore developments in the region. SESA have put a great deal of trust in us and our abilities. We look forward to working even closer with them to deliver these landmark projects.”

“This award reflects the strength of the collaboration between our two organisations. By combining Jumbo Offshore’s transport and installation expertise with CoreMarine’s offshore engineering capabilities, we are delivering a robust, efficient, and tailored solution. We are proud to contribute to such a landmark development in Argentina and to support the delivery of critical energy infrastructure to the highest standards of safety and performance.” Brian Boutkan, Commercial Director at Jumbo Offshore.

Together, CoreMarine and Jumbo Offshore bring decades of global experience in offshore engineering, heavy lift transportation, and subsea installation. The project will be delivered in close collaboration with SESA and its partners, underpinned by the following shared principles: Safety leadership – zero harm, zero compromise; Collaborative delivery – transparent engagement with clients, partners, and stakeholders; Local value creation – developing regional capability and utilizing local resources wherever possiblel Key Partners – Projects don’t happen in a vacuum. Our partners on this project are key to its very success.

This project represents CoreMarine’s first FLNG development and largest contract in Latin America, while further strengthening Jumbo Offshore’s track record in SSY installations and floating energy infrastructure. Leveraging their combined presence across Europe and South America, both companies are committed to delivering lasting value for the client and the broader region.

0

In January 2025, Nooteboom introduced the Mega Windmill Trailer XXL (MWT-XXL), the latest addition to the successful MWT series.

After showing the MWT-XXL at Bauma in München, two trailers were delivered to Silvasti, one of Europe’s leading experts in heavy and exceptional transport. Silvasti has been working with previous generations of the Mega Windmill Trailers for years and put the newest XXL-version into operation. CEO Ville Silvasti shares his first impressions.

“When Nooteboom came up with the MWT-XXL, with those key improvements, especially for the stability of the rear dolly, it was exactly what we had been looking for.” Ville Silvasti, CEO Silvasti Transport A/S Silvasti

“Our first impression was that at first glance, there were only small differences compared to the previous MWT,” says Ville Silvasti. “But those small differences are exactly what make the big impact. The improvements are mainly constructional and that’s actually a very good thing. We already had extensive experience with the earlier MWT models, and over the years we’ve bought at least 25 of them. So it was very easy for our drivers to start working with the new MWT-XXL, because they are already familiar with this type of trailer.”

When asked why Silvasti chose Nooteboom again, he explains: “Over the years, we’ve used different trailer types and brands, but we also did a proper technical evaluation of the construction and stability. We found that the basic idea behind the Nooteboom design is very clever, the frame is stable and very well thought out. When Nooteboom came up with the MWT-XXL, with those key improvements, especially for the stability of the rear dolly, it was exactly what we had been looking for.”

With a Master of Science degree in automotive engineering, Ville Silvasti approaches trailer technology with a keen eye for detail. “I’m very passionate about trailers and I always like to take a closer look at the technical side. Before this interview, I spoke with one of our drivers, who has been with Silvasti since day one. He takes his job very seriously: if there were any problems, he would have called me. But since he never did, I know everything has been working perfectly.”

Last summer Silvasti was using the MWT-XXL for a project in Lithuania, transporting wind tower sections with a 6.3m outside diameter. “That’s almost the limit of what can be transported,” says Silvasti, “but again, no complaints from the driver, which says it all.”

According to Silvasti, the MWT-XXL offers “the perfect combination” to handle both the smallest and largest tower diameters. The trailer can be used to transport the nacelles and the bigger tower sections. “The trailer is even more stable than we expected,” he explains. “Because of the extra stability of the new MWT-XXL, our drivers notice hardly any difference when moving towers from 4.5m or 6.5m diameters. The biggest advantages are the stability, the light weight, and the low maintenance costs. That combination is quite unique at the moment.”

“Nooteboom uses a 3-point clamp, while other brands typically have a 4-point system. Our drivers tested both, and with a 4-point clamp you have to be much more precise when connecting it to the tower. The 3-point clamp, on the other hand, automatically finds its correct position, it just fits.”

The relationship between Nooteboom and Silvasti goes back for years. “We don’t need many words to understand each other anymore,” Over the years, this collaboration has grown into a true partnership. Silvasti provides Nooteboom with valuable, hands-on feedback from daily operations, which Nooteboom has already used to further refine and improve the MWT-XXL. This exchange of knowledge and experience ensures that both sides keep pushing the boundaries of transport technology.

After several months of working with the MWT-XXL, Silvasti is pleased with its performance. “So far, everything looks very promising,” Finally, he emphasizes how critical reliability is in the wind industry: “In this business, we’re constantly operating at the limits. That’s why it’s essential to rely on skilled drivers and the best possible trailer technology. Even the smallest failure can have major consequences. For us, stability and simplicity of design are key and the MWT-XXL delivers exactly that.”
