Acergy, Managing Director & Board Member with Bibby Line Ltd, and has worked with TECHNIP SA, Coflexip Stena and Stena Offshore, where he was Managing Director Canada and Caspian, and Senior Vice President UK, International Business Development. “I am looking forward to working with HANSA HEAVY LIFT to support the organization as it increases its presence in the offshore and T&I markets, offering customers high quality and tailored solutions, no matter the challenge,” said Preece. “HANSA HEAVY LIFT is in a position to take full advantage of the growing opportunities in this sector and I am excited to be working with such a specialised carrier with strong engineering capabilities and flexible vessels to push the company up to the next level.” HANSA HEAVY LIFT operates a young fleet of 19 multi-‐purpose vessels, equipped with cranes with a combined lifting capacity of 1,400 metric tons that can operate independently of local infrastructure. All vessels are E3 ice-‐class equivalent to Russian L1, which means they can comfortably cut through sea ice up to one meter thick. Given the magnitude of projects arising in northern Russia, the company is expecting to pass the Northern Sea Route more often in the future. In addition to the offshore industry, the company is also increasing its focus on the super heavy lift market, and operates a regional structure that allows its teams to respond to customers’ demands in real time, anywhere in the globe.
