Australia’s Strake Engineering has expanded its offshore equipment offering with the addition of four DNV-certified subsea baskets, purpose-built to support installation and recovery tasks across decommissioning and broader offshore operations.
Each basket offers a 53-tonne payload and 47-tonne tare weight, complete with rigging, load test certification, and manufacturer data records.
The units have already demonstrated “proven offshore performance” on a recent decommissioning project, it was reported by the Centre of Decommissioning Australia (CODA), which announced the new equipment launch on its website.
The Perth-based company is a CODA partner as Australia gets to grips with its immense offshore decommissioning challenges.
The new subsea baskets are designed to enhance safety, boost operational efficiency and reduce project costs through a flexible rental model.
“Strake is proud to introduce its fleet of subsea baskets for rent, delivering a safer, smarter, and highly efficient solution for offshore installation and recovery tasks,” the company noted in its marketing of the new equipment, also available on the CODA website.
According to Strake, the purpose-built equipment enhances safety by mitigating the risk of unknown structural integrity in offshore recovery; boosts efficiency by streamlining workflows and reducing project timelines with optimised handling and transport; and reduces costs, via a rental model that offers access to top-tier equipment without the capital expenditure of ownership.
