SUBSEA SERVICE / TEAM FRANCE

PRODUCT Subsea Service Team France delivers information to clients, regarding the condition of existing subsea assets or the seabed on which they intend to develop. The team provides this information based upon the subsea surveys and inspections it carries out.

In addition to work following on from these surveys and inspections, a range of other work scopes are also undertaken by the conglomerate, including subsea preparation, asset maintenance and installation support. Results are supplied in the form of data or a detailed report of an activity which will, in all cases, be provided by the project management via the N-Sea Data Centre. This will ensure that the quality of the product will always be of the highest standard and can be presented to the client in any format upon request.

Our Data Centre comprises: Data Centre Manager; Chief Surveyor and 6 full-time data reporters. All staff hold the required industry certificates and experience.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project management will be delivered by N-Sea Offshore Wind, with assistance from local partner Ceres.

Our project managers have accumulated significant experience - predominately from the oil and gas industries – and they are used to handling large scale projects with multiple offshore diving support and survey vesselsand third-party involvement.

Our standard language in the company is English, however several of our project managers are conversant in French.

LOCAL RESOURCES

It is our objective to use as much local recourse as reasonably possible.

Our partner, Ceres has an excellent reputation and is well known in the area. Ceres will assist the project team in sourcing local resource.

For technical backup for our non-survey activity, we will rely on the assistance of TechSub, which operates four offices in France and one warehouse for temporary storage of equipment.
