 TUCF General Manager Marine, Craig Maddison, has passed a warm    congratulations from Coogee to all the TUCF team involved.

   The 5,500bhp AHTS Petra Pioneer chartered and operated by TUCF was    contracted by Coogee Resources to tow the Wellhead Jacket from    Singapore to site in the Timor Sea.

The jacket was safely launched into 77 metres of water from the unmanned barge LLB1 at the Montara Field after an eleven day tow from Singapore. The Petra Pioneer now remains on the project for general supply, towing and anchor handling duties in support of the Saipem lay barge Castoro Otto.

TUCF with its joint venture partner Petra Perdana Berhad is now offering the Australian and New Zealand regions a large choice of vessels for the offshore oil and gas industry. Managing Director, Ian Milliner, has stated that we are now more than ever equipped to pursue exciting business opportunities in this region.
