La necesidad de buceadores españoles con certificaciones con reconocimiento internacional.

España posee profesionales subacuáticos ampliamente capacitados, con una larga experiencia y profundos conocimientos técnicos, pero, en diversas ocasiones, las empresas de servicios subacuáticos necesitan contratar profesionales de otros países, debido a que los buceadores españoles no poseen certificaciones con reconocimiento internacional, solicitadas por las empresas contratantes.

Esto supone, para las empresas, gastos con viajes y estadías, además de importantes sueldos, ya que el salario de un buceador en el norte de Europa es muy superior a la media española. Tal situación refleja la  problemática del sector de la enseñanza de buceo profesional en España.

Esta realidad dificulta la entrada de buceadores españoles al mercado exterior, principalmente a la hora de buscar empleo en empresas de servicios subacuáticos en el norte de Europa. La gran mayoría se ve obligada a realizar cursos en el extranjero para que sean reconocidos como buceadores profesionales y así, tener una oportunidad en el mundo laboral.

Aumenta la demanda de buceadores profesionales especializados en reparaciones y mantenimientos de buques

El mercado para buceadores profesionales especializados en reparaciones y mantenimientos de buques ha aumentado cerca de 80% en los tres últimos años. Este hecho se debe al crecimiento de las exportaciones, principalmente en los países sudamericanos, asiáticos y también en el oriente medio.  Algunas de estas regiones están en franco desarrollo comercial en el sector subacuático, como es el caso de India, Colombia, Brasil y Chile, donde existe una demanda importante de profesionales. Otro país que necesita de mano de obra especializada en el sector subacuático especializado en buques son los Emiratos Árabes, donde el nivel de vida y los salarios son elevados.

The Nord Stream Pipeline through the Baltic Sea is the most direct connection between the vast gas reserves in Russia and energy markets in the European Union. Years of studies have brought Nord Stream to the conclusion that the offshore pipeline project represents one of the safest, most economical, and most environmentally friendly ways to increase gas supplies to Europe.

The Nord Stream twin pipeline system through the Baltic Sea runs from Vyborg, Russia to Lubmin near Greifswald, Germany.

Building the pipelines was a major feat of engineering. Because they pass through the waters of five countries, and could affect others, an extensive permitting and consultation process took place. An important part of this process focused on the environment and the procedures developed to investigate and mitigate all potential impacts.

The twin pipelines have the capacity to transport a combined total of about 55 bcm of gas a year – that’s enough to satisfy the energy demand of more than 26 million European households. Nord Stream has designed the pipelines to operate for at least 50 years.

Technip officially named its latest new vessel in Vigo, Spain. The Deep Orient, a newbuild medium construction vessel, will be dedicated to subsea construction and flexible pipelay projects.

During the ceremony held at the Metalships & Docks (MSD) shipyard in Vigo, the ship was named by the vessel’s godmother, Véronique Delormel, wife of Frédéric Delormel, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Subsea at Technip.

Thanks to a successful cooperation between Technip’s Marine New Builds team in Aberdeen, UK and the MSD team, vessel construction was completed within a tight time frame. The initial contracts were agreed in December 2010 and fabrication, as well as assembly, started in mid-2011. After final outfitting and commissioning, sea trials were successfully completed.

The Deep Orient is equipped with a 250-metric tonne main crane, dynamic positioning (DP2) station-keeping capability, two work-class remotely operated vehicles and a large 1,900-m2 deck area for ample storage of equipment while working on remotely located projects. Moreover, she can accommodate 120 people and complies with the latest marine environmental standards.

The Deep Orient will mobilize at Technip’s facility in Le Trait, France before undertaking her first projects in Norway.

Thierry Pilenko, Technip Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The introduction of the Deep Orient is the latest initiative in offering our clients a fit-for-purpose fleet to help them with their projects. Today, Technip has the capabilities to answer the industry’s needs, from deep to shore. The Deep Orient confirms our integrated services strategy for offshore field development, subsea construction, fabrication and installation of submarine pipes across the world.”

Alain Marion, Technip Senior Vice President Subsea Assets and Technologies, said: “After two years of great work with MSD teams, we are now very excited to welcome the Deep Orient to our fleet as the quality and performance of this new deepwater construction vessel will add further capabilities to the wide range of services we already offer our clients.”

Manuel Rodriguez, President of MSD, declared: “The Deep Orient is once again a great success for the shipyard, which benefits from many years of experience in building ships operating all over the world. The close collaboration with Technip right from the beginning of the project has, without a doubt, been the key to achieving this magnificent result. One of the crucial aspects all along the building process of this vessel was the constant control of all the safety rules.”
