Construction of Mossel Bay FA platform - 1991
This picture shows one of the modules being placed on the MSF by a crane on the Micoperi 7000. Behind the platform is the South Seas Driller (I think) which was being used as accommodation during the contstruction phase.
A view of the Micoperi 7000 crane barge with the module it is lifting on it's cargo deck can be seen in picture #81, and picture #216 shows a similar view to this at a later stage.

The rig in the background was the 'Actinia' a semi-sub drilling rig converted temporarily (in a yard in CapeTown) for the duration of the project to an accommodation platform and moored alongside. Interestingly, the gangway came off the Sun Oil 'AH01' after it was converted at Invergordon.

Hi,
The vessel used for accommodation during the FA construction was the Actinia. I lived on it for the duration of the project. At the time it was one of three semi-subs owned by SOEKOR. At completion of the FA contruction the Actinia was sold to an Australian outfit.
