The vessel which is set to arrive in Harland & Wolff’s Belfast yard by early 2024 is set to be placed in the Belfast construction dock for three months. Harland’s Belfast dock features two large drydocks, ample quayside and large fabrication halls.

According to the company, this is the second time they have welcomed the vessel to its construction sites, with the last visit being in 2012.

Harland & Wolff group CEO John Wood said: “I am delighted that Cenovus has chosen Harland & Wolff as its preferred yard to undertake the mid-life upgrade of the SeaRose.

“This is a significant win within our non-defence portfolio from a global, blue-chip energy group and I am pleased that we are gaining a reputation as a go-to yard for large and complex programmes. With an estimated 1,000 personnel on-site, this project will allow for further synergies in our execution, leveraging off of personnel, skill sets and supply chains that will support the upcoming FSS Programme.”
