Findings:

Procedure to transfer the J-Tube from the fabrication yard to ILOGS quay on flat
trailer on two foam blocks.

Foreman in charge of the loading of the J-Tube on flat trailer at the fabrication yard
decided to load them on one foam block as truck stanchions were too low (Good
HSE practice)
Upon arrival of the truck transporting J-Tube on the ILOGS quay side, construction
vessel could not reception them directly aboard their vessel (Tidal issue + welding
operation being performed on the side of the vessel)
Only 2 trucks were available to transfer the 12 J-Tube sections from the fabrication
yard to Ilogs quay.



It was finally decided to temporarily store the J-Tube sections on the quayside
In order to comply with the offshore installation procedure and to gain time on the
mobilization of the construction vessel. J-tubes sections were installed on top of 2
foam blocks on the quay side.

There was a deviation in the mobilisation procedure: J-tube were temporarily stored
on quayside whereas they should have been directly loaded from truck to
construction vessel
No MOC and risk assessment performed following the deviation of the procedure
Temporarily storage on 2 foam blocks along the quay was identified as not good
HSE practice nevertheless no action was taken
Foam blocks used for the storage of the J-Tube did not have all the same
characteristics (Low density and High density).
Wind gusts were observed along quayside prior the incidents
