(offshore-enegy.biz) Singapore’s Seatrium has hosted a naming ceremony for a floating storage, production, and offloading (FPSO) unit constructed by Japanese giant MODEC destined to work off the coast of Brazil.
On October 21, 2024, Seatrium’s Tuas Boulevard Yard witnessed the naming ceremony of FPSO Bacalhau, described as the largest vessel of its kind to be delivered to Brazil. The Singaporean firm was in charge of undertaking integration work on the FPSO after Aibel wrapped up the work on topside modules.
As Seatrium prepares for the vessel’s scheduled sailaway, it expressed confidence that it will be an invaluable asset for the Bacalhau field in Brazil’s Santos Basin. The field’s operator, Equinor, is getting ready for the FPSO’s arrival, with first oil expected in 2025.
The vessel boasts the title of the world’s first FPSO with DNV’s Abate notation, received in July. This milestone is said to underscore Seatrium’s commitment to sustainability by minimizing carbon emissions and paving the way forward for a cleaner energy future.
