CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION has played a leading role in the tow-out of a tension leg platform in the US Gulf demonstrating the era of large oil and gas platforms in deep water is still alive and well. Heerema Marine Contractors provided a European element to the installation of Hess Corporation's Stampede platform in around 3,500ft of water. All three of Crowley's Ocean-class tugs were involved, Ocean Wind and three 455-series barges delivered 300ft sections of 12, 3,400ft-long securing tendons while Ocean Sky and Ocean Sun along with two third-party tugs towed the platform to its final location 150 miles offshore, a journey lasting four days.
