The SAIPEM 3000 is a self-propelled mono-hull DP derrick crane vessel operating within the Saipem fleet. Designed to perform major offshore operations, the unit supports heavy-lift activities, offshore structure installation, subsea construction works and ROV-assisted operations. Equipped with a fully redundant DP Class 3 dynamic positioning system and a main crane with a lifting capacity of up to 2,177 t, the vessel is deployed on complex offshore projects worldwide.

The project involves the development of the Quiluma and Maboqueiro non-associated gas fields through two offshore platforms, pipeline connections and an onshore gas treatment plant designed to feed the Angola LNG plant in Soyo. Its objective is to enhance the value of Angola’s natural gas resources, ensure a stable gas supply to the LNG plant and strengthen the national energy value chain.

The CLOV Phase 3 Project is an offshore deepwater oil field development in Block 17, approximately 140 km off the Angolan coast. Operated by TotalEnergies, the project includes the installation of a four-well subsea production system connected to the existing CLOV floating production facility. The development is intended to increase oil output by approximately 30,000 barrels per day while maximizing the use of existing offshore infrastructure.
