OGUK Decom Insight Report 2021

The two topsides were delivered to CessCon’s new Decommissioning Facility in Methil, Fife by Allseas’ single- lift vessel Pioneering Spirit where they were transferred to Allseas’ Iron Lady barge in the River Forth adjacent to the facility, before being offloaded across the quay to the dismantling area. The contract brought the Allseas’ Pioneering Spirit vessel to mainland Scotland for the first time with CessCon decommissioning, dismantling, reusing and recycling up to 23,000 tonnes of material with a reuse and recycling target of 98% (by weight) of all materials. CessCon developed a new onshore decommissioning facility from a brownfield site, took delivery of the assets, and commenced dismantling and recycling operations in line with its circular economy strategy within a 12-month period, while adhering to strict COVID guidelines. CessCon devised and implemented a new ‘Offshore/ Onshore’ methodology, bringing the best practices in terms of health and safety and operations offshore into an onshore environment. The new philosophy was well received by the workforce and clients, and has helped to increase the safety performance during the final phase of the decommissioning lifecycle.
