Versabar's VB 10,000 lift system was used in the decommissioning of a 2,600-ton topside in the Gulf of Mexico. Once the four point hook-up was complete, the legs were cut, and the deck lifted from its jacket, the VB 10,000 used its GPS thrusters to navigate away from the jacket, carrying the topside to a transport barge. The deck was then lowered and sea-fastened to the barge for departure.
