WEST WHITE ROSE PROJECT UPDATE
June 24, 2025

The CGS touched down late Sunday evening and has completed its ballasting and final installation in the White Rose Field. The Pioneering Spirit is due to arrive in Bull Arm around July 12th and will prepare to take the topsides from Bull Arm to field shortly thereafter.

Harvesters are thanked immensely for their attentiveness to tow out announcements and cooperativeness in gear setting as to avoid the tow route and operations. In the unfortunate event of gear loss or damage, there is a program for harvesters to be reimbursed for their lost or damaged gear attributable to the CGS tow operations. Harvesters should complete the Fisheries Compensation Damage Report Form (attached) and provide quotes or estimates on the gear costs to replace for reimbursement. More information on this type of compensation can be found here:
