STOPAQ Engineered Subsea Solutions The offshore world requires advanced and durable corrosion prevention systems. Corrosion processes cause huge damage to valuable and strategic infrastructure every year. Maintenance requirements should be kept to a minimum to avoid any interruption of service and enable optimal use of the infrastructure. Harsh conditions are not a problem for us. SFL offers the best corrosion prevention systems, while SFL’s Subsea division provides the best service in the industry. This combination makes us your ideal partner. The market today is asking for safe, easy and quick solutions that last forever. Clients don’t want to worry about disbondment, adhesion, flexibility, abrasion, compatibility, impact resistance, system stability or application conditions affecting system performance. We see stopping corrosion as our mission. Via our systems, we can offer you more control over all process steps: from preparation and application to protection beyond the expected lifespan. Offshore assets such as jetties, peers and platforms need to be safe constructions – for people and the environment. To minimize maintenance, the systems and materials used must be highly durable. Integrating our solutions into your maintenance program takes away organizational hassle and offers you a complete new approach to solving existing problems, saving you valuable time and money. With STOPAQ corrosion preventative solutions, we are able to seal spools, risers, piles, J-tubes, flanges, Christmas trees, subsea pipelines, power cables & connections.

Large Oil Company from Saudi Arabia:
“
Great experiences over the
years made us look if we could use the STOPAQ system in our biggest offshore maintenance program. It quickly became clear that the system not only offers us time savings in application but also in the preparation phase. We are now able to execute the job with several teams at the same time, without forcing our contractors to make large investments in equipment. This means we can finish projects way before the planned dates and have the possibility to focus on other projects. We now have the time and resources to carry out our full scheduled maintenance program – which keeps us

“
Using the STOPAQ corrosion
prevention systems has enabled us to set up a complete new service. We are now able to offer our clients the best possible system application, making us a solutions provider rather than just an applicator. The STOPAQ systems and our service have been proven to be the best combination: state-of-the-art and very cost- effective. We respect the fact that more and more clients are putting their faith in our approach. The knowledge that we don’t have to disappoint them makes us feel very comfortable and offers great possibilities for the future.

Partners in execution Joining forces with leading companies worldwide in subsea and offshore operations offers SFL clients great benefits and guaranteed applications. For example, Falck Nutec offers education and training on the application and use of the STOPAQ offshore and subsea systems. Together, the companies stress the importance of competence training for applying the STOPAQ systems and using the tools and equipment that have been developed. This enables clients to have their own preferred contractors fully trained on the specific application(s), thereby ensuring they carry out the works in the best possible way. The training offered via this cooperative route is carried out at the state-of-the-art facilities in Holland, at SFL HQ in Stadskanaal or FALCK Nutec facility at the Maasvlakte. Training can also be carried out by selected trainers at the job site. • •
