Jumbo Shipping Doubles Safety Reward For Worthy Cause
Jumbo Shipping has donated USD 10,000 to the Ronald McDonald House in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Jumbo Shipping had doubled the sum it received as part of Technip‘s Project Safety Incentive Scheme for a “worthy cause” for their performance on the ASENG field. Jumbo Shipping joined the initiative, doubling the amount to USD 10,000. The Ronald McDonald House offers a home close to the hospital and rehabilitation centre to families of children who are ill or disabled.
In December a cheque was formally handed over by Mr Laurens Govers, Head of Jumbo’s Commercial Dept.(left) and Ms Stephanie Datema, Communications Dept. (middle), to one of Ronald McDonalds representatives, Ms Monique de Bree (right).
ASENG Field
In 2011 Jumbo Shipping successfully completed its scope of work as awarded by Technip for the ASENG field, located off the coast of Equatorial Guinea in West Africa. This field is to be developed as a standalone turret moored FPSO with subsea production, water injection and gas injection wells at five locations. Jumbo’s scope of work for this project consisted of transporting offshore equipment, such as reels (umbilical and flexible lines), manifolds and mudmats from Galveston, USA and Le Trait, France to the ASENG field.
‘Stay Well’
For this project Jumbo deployed the Fairlift and Stellanova. The diversity of cargoes, operational requirements and their associated risks were identified during Hazard Identification procedures (HAZID’s). Careful preparation, pro-active crews and the vessels themselves were important contributing factors in the success of the project. This was noted by the clients’ project manager who praised Jumbo’s “excellent HSE performances and good HSE climate on board the vessels”.
The award shows the positive impact of Jumbo’s ongoing safety campaign ‘Stay Well’ which main goal is to increase safety awareness and incident prevention at all times. All ship crews and office staff follow courses at regular intervals at Jumbo’s head office in Rotterdam.
