HIBERNIA
projects
DORIS performed the project management, the detailed engineering and operations engineering of the Heaviest Platform in the world
Providing oil drilling, storage and production, Hibernia is also the first iceberg resistant platform.
It can resist the impact of an iceberg having a mass of more than 4 million tonnes and drifting at a speed of up to 1.35 m/s. The anti-ice wall consists of a series of triangular teeth regularly distributed on the circumference of the GBS.
