Abstract Fixed offshore platforms are normally provided with landing platforms that enable berthing of supply vessels, crew boats etc. These landing platforms or ‘Boat landings’ are energy absorption structures provided on substructures (jackets) of offshore platforms. Their purpose is to facilitate personnel access from vessel to platforms for performing various tasks including manning the platform, its maintenance etc. Vessel also approach the platforms for providing supplies in case of a manned platform and for providing bunkers, spares etc. As such, boat landing is an integral part of offshore platform and its design and installation becomes equally important. They are preferably located at leeward direction as far as practical, to avoid accidental vessel drift into the platform. For smaller standalone offshore platforms installed with Heavy Lift Crane Vessels, boat landing is installed after the jacket is piled to seabed. Since sequence of installation of boat landing is prior to that of Topside, such installations are straightforward and without obstructions from the Topside. For the bigger accommodation, production, process platforms located in super-complex (or standalone) with topsides installed by float over method, boat landings sometimes are in the wide float over barge slots. In such cases, installation of boat landing becomes very critical due to the post installation after the Topside and associated obstructions from the Topside. This is similar or more critical than a boat landing removal / refurbishment activity carried for a brownfield project. This paper explores the challenges and associated steps adopted to execute the safe installation of these critical structures underneath a newly installed Topside. This case study details the installation of ∼300mt boat landings onto recently installed Greenfield platforms in Arabian Gulf using efficient rigging, suiting the EPC Contractors’ crane assets.
