Competitor

This is our competitor in this branche, the Italian cranevessel Saipem 7000. It seems as if he is following for almost a year now. Last October he followed us from Normay to Brazil, in spring from Brazil to the North Sea, and now he is working very close on our location on the Valhall Field. To show us that he is a real competitor, he lifted a very heavy and impressive module of 11.000 tons from a barge and put it on the jacket. We left our location at 03:00 am and were just too late to see that happen. They were already unhooking the cranes when we showed up for some spy work. As always 'moment supreme' happened in the middle of the night. On this latitude it is dark from 24:00 till 04:00 and the lifting took place right in between. That's also Murphy's Law.
