Semco Maritime wins drydocking and energy optimisation work for Floatel
Floatel International has selected Semco Maritime’s Hanøytangen facility outside Bergen, Norway, to perform a series of modifications and service works on the Floatel Endurance rig ahead of an upcoming contract on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Following completion of its current assignment in Canada, Floatel Endurance will sail across the
Atlantic to Hanøytangen, arriving in Q1 2026 for yard stay and energy optimisation works.
The Semco Maritime facility at Hanøytangen is a key hub for repair, modification, and conversion work
on offshore vessels and units. The site features a 125 by 130-meter dry dock with 16.5 meters water
depth, deepwater quays reaching 90 meters, and a modern infrastructure supported by large cranes
with substantial lifting capacity, making it one of the most capable drydock setups in the region.
The facility is fully integrated with Semco Maritime’s engineering, project support, and yard service
teams. This structure allows the company to handle the full scope of offshore projects, from major
conversions and complex upgrades to internal and local compliance work. Combined, these
capabilities deliver a complete end-to-end solution for all types of offshore assets.
Semco Maritime has been awarded the drydocking and energy optimisation project for Floatel
Endurance, which includes:
• Thruster removal and overhaul
• Hull treatment and painting
• Galley and accommodation upgrades
• Turnkey delivery and installation of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system with Diesel
Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) technology
The SCR and DOC systems are part of Semco Maritime’s advanced energy efficiency portfolio,
supporting Norway’s ambition to reduce emissions from offshore rigs with 50% by 2030.
“We are very pleased that Floatel International has chosen Semco Maritime Hanøytangen for this
important project,” says Simon Wall, Semco Maritime. “By combining our in-house engineering
capabilities with a robust execution plan, we are well positioned to deliver on schedule and help
Floatel prepare for the future.”
