NEPTUN's HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
|
NEPTUN was established in 1870 under the name of BERGNINGS- OCH DYKERIAKTIEBOLAGET NEPTUN (SALVAGE AND DIVING COMPANY NEPTUN). From a proud past as a major salvage contractor the company diversified into general marine contracting work. The experience and skill gained during work in harsh environmental conditions have been further developed to meet the demands from the marine industry and from the offshore industry in particular. |

NEPTUN
record covers 130 years of operation and includes such spectacular tasks as -The
salvage of the ancient warship VASA that had been laying
at the bottom of the sea since 1628. She was raised by Neptun
in April 1961. -Transport of the integrated deck for theGullfaks C platform in Norway. The weight was 48.700 t and this is the heaviest object ever transported on water. NEPTUN has earlier undertaken similar operations for other major platforms in Norway -Removal of 21 ships that had been sunk in the Suez-canal |

-Removal
of 20 ships that had been sunk within the harbour of Port of Spain, Trinidad. -Laying of a submarine power cable (90 km of 90 mm dia) between the mainland of Sweden and the island of
Gotland. -Lifting
of a giant floating dock in Norway (36.000 t) for repair after she had been
heavily damaged during transport. Most
projects have been carried out in remote areas under hostile conditions and
reflect NEPTUN's ability to combine the use of specialised equipment and modern
offshore technology with locally available resources. NEPTUN offer the experience and the unique know-how of technical and nautical
experts trained during NEPTUN's world-wide operations.
As
managers and engineers, NEPTUN combines all the necessary resources to execute
marine projects of multi discipline character. NE provide marine contracting related management and engineering services as consultants. |
