Scope of Work
The Northern Endeavour FWD FAVCO Crane Reinstatement Project was developed and safely executed to enable the FWD Crane to return to service following it being removed from service for 3.5 years due to severe corrosion and cracking defects identified on the Crane boom. The Crane was deemed a requirement by NOPSEMA as a risk mitigation to facilitate a well kill response.
