Reviews & Ratings for the Hea-Kraken

'Seajacks Leviathan' and 'Seajacks Kraken' are set for their upcoming missions after undergoing extensive refurbishment at Shipdock Amsterdam. This facility, which is part of Damen Shiprepair & Conversion, was tasked by Seajacks UK Ltd. to perform a range of significant and smaller modifications on both jack-up vessels, which serve the North Sea's offshore wind and oil & gas sectors. Notably, the repairs on 'Seajacks Kraken' included a complete overhaul of its lifeboat davit system. This project involved the installation of prefabricated foundations by Niron Staal, along with four new davits equipped with a powerpack, cabling, winch, and hydraulic systems. The work concluded with thorough test runs and load assessments conducted under the supervision of a qualified surveyor. Additionally, the Kraken’s four legs were meticulously restored following a joint inspection with the principal’s inspectors, employing S690 grade steel for optimal durability. The jack-up vessel also successfully passed crane tests and updated crane hook certification surveys, along with assorted minor steel work and the installation of two new satellite dome platforms.
