I believe they have every reason to be proud, as marine lifting operation requires complex engineering and planning and the complexity of operation increases further with the size and weight of the topside. One of the prime reasons for this race to lift the heaviest deck offshore and the innovation in this field is because it is cost effective to fabricate and install a topside in one block than multiple blocks thus significantly saving offshore hook-up, commissioning and transportation time. Installation contractors advertise engineering feats accomplished by successfully lifting the large topsides using heavy lift vessels (HLVs) offshore. Ever since the offshore industry has expanded to deeper waters, one topic of broad and current interest, that has dominated the industry, is the weight of topsides lifted offshore.
