Well Containment Barge

The “Poseidon” (ex-Arctic Challenger) Containment System Barge is an ABS Coast Guard certified, US flagged barge, designed by Superior Energy Services-Marine Technical Services, to contain and recover uncontrolled subsea well leaks.

Details

Built by SUPERIOR ENERGY, with SHELL as part of a project to explore for gas and oil in Alaska´s North slope. US administration cancels permits to explore offshore in Alaska and the barge was sold to Engineering Systems Inc, a company in San Diego, USA.  The barge was never used, all equipment is brand new. Can be inspected in port El Sauzal BC, Mexico.
