Brent Charlie platform arrives at Able Seaton port in the UK"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The Shell Brent Charlie Topside arrived at the port of Able Seaton on July 20, marking a significant milestone in Able UK&#8217;s leadership within the industry.\nThis structure is the largest offshore <strong><a

platform<\/a><\/strong> single-piece offshore platform that has ever been lifted, transported and delivered ashore, <strong>weighing 31,000 tons<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shell Brent Charlie is decommissioned in Able Seaton<\/h2>\n\n<p>This operation is part of an extensive agreement that began in 2011 and was formalized with Shell in 2013 for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/tidal-energy-platform-dismantle\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"163885\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decommissioning of the platforms<\/a><\/strong> in the Brent field.\nOn the other platforms already decommissioned, Delta, Bravo and Alpha, Able UK has achieved a <strong>recycling\/reuse rate in excess of 97%<\/strong>.\nThe company is committed to achieving or exceeding this figure for Charlie using its well-established supply network.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Brent Charlie also represents the <strong>fourth and final Shell Brent field platform to be decommissioned at Able Seaton<\/strong>.\nLike its predecessors, this operation involved the heavy-lift vessel <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/allseas.com\/equipment\/pioneering-spirit-offshore-construction-vessel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Allseas Pioneering Spirit<\/a><\/strong> and ended with the transfer to the barge Allseas Iron Lady, which towed her into port and anchored her in the Able UK-designed laydown bed. <\/p>\n\n<p>Once security checks are completed, the 31,000 Te structure will be moved to Pier 6, designed to support the weight of these huge structures.<\/p>\n<div class=\" align\"><div id=\"wpfp_2843\"

transported and delivered onshore.\nSource: ABLE UK. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Able UK strengthens leadership in energy and decommissioning<\/h2>\n\n<p>Founder and CEO, Peter Stephenson, highlighted Able UK&#8217;s pride in being a key part of the Brent Field decommissioning project, mentioning that the arrival of Shell Charlie is the result of meticulous coordination with its partners Shell and Allseas.\nHe also stressed the <strong>importance of the company&#8217;s port infrastructure <\/strong>in the success of these contracts and its expectation to participate in future large-scale projects. <\/p>\n\n<p>Stephenson also remarked on the iconic character of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shell.co.uk\/about-us\/sustainability\/decommissioning\/brent-field-decommissioning\/brent-field-decommissioning-programme.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.shell.co.uk\/about-us\/sustainability\/decommissioning\/brent-field-decommissioning\/brent-field-decommissioning-programme.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brent field<\/a><\/strong> field and the company&#8217;s commitment to conducting complex operations to the highest environmental standards.\nIn addition, to consolidate its market leadership, Able UK has made significant investments in the port, including the <strong>construction of one of the most robust jetties in Europe<\/strong>, remaining at the forefront of decommissioning and positioning itself as a key player in the emerging industry of <strong><a

noopener\">offshore wind energy industry.<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Finally, in addition to the decommissioning of Brent Charlie, this port will also host the decommissioning of several platforms and structures of the LOGGS project in the North Sea.\nAll this in the context of the development of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/marine-wind-park-of-the-world-electricity\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"103911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dogger Bank offshore wind farm<\/a><\/strong>the world&#8217;s largest offshore wind farm, further strengthening Able as the port of choice for major offshore projects.\nThis demonstrates how the company covers both ends of the energy spectrum, participating in both the oil and gas and renewable energy sectors.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our
