Poltramp Yard S.A. in Swinoujscie, Poland, used the new Roxtec SPM seals for the BoDo Constructor – a newly built offshore cable laying barge-pontoon.Poltramp Yard needed to seal the openings for a substantial amount of pipes onboard the large vessel, but in many places welding was not possible due to safety regulations.
Poltramp Yard therefore decided to use the certified Roxtec SPM seal, which does not require any welding. Fast and easy installation was another reason for the shipyard to choose Roxtec.
Certified protection
The Roxtec SPM seal can be used with any kind of metal pipe onboard marine or offshore structures to ensure protection against fire, gas and water. The solution makes it easy to ensure safety and operational reliability – without any downtime or cost associated with welding. The seal has a MED certification from DNV-GL and type approval certificates from ABS, RMRS and LR.
Complete transit supplier
The 2700 t vessel is 120 m long, 32 m wide and 6.5 m deep. It is equipped with a carrousel for cable storage and a cable laying system. Roxtec has, through its Polish subsidiary, supplied a large number of sealing solutions for the project.
