20-12-2011 | Fairmount Sherpa delivers rig Noble Paul Romano in Egypt

Fairmount Marine’s powerful tug Fairmount Sherpa has safely towed the
semi-submersible drilling rig Noble Paul Romano from the Gulf of Mexico
to Egypt. The tow was over a distance of close to 8,000 miles.
When contracted by Noble Drilling the Fairmount Sherpa just has
completed the installation of FPSO Skarv, offshore Norway. Fairmount
Sherpa was mobilized first to Rotterdam for supplies and bunkers before it
sailed to Jamaica for a rendez-vous with Noble Paul Romano, which was
all ready under tow by tug Svitzer Rotterdam. Offshore Jamaica Fairmount
Sherpa hooked up the tow and the convoy set sail for San Juan, Puerto
Rico, for bunkers.
After the successful crossing of the North Atlantic the convoy safely
arrived at Las Palmas, Canary Islands, for a next bunker stop. Here
Fairmount Sherpa assisted in cargo and personnel transfer for the Noble
Paul Romano as well.
