To carry out the installation, the company equipped SURF-installation vessel Ndurance with the Trenchformer burial system that was developed in-house.

Installation included direct pull-ins, as well as the laying and burial of the umbilical simultaneously.

"By simultaneous laying and burial, we can eliminate an additional working process."

VBMS Oil & Gas commercial business director Leo van Vliet said: "By simultaneous laying and burial, we can eliminate an additional working process, which in turn saves on time and costs and minimises risks.
