Aug. 10 (offshote-energy.biz) Two ocean-going tugs from the fleet operated by Boskalis, a Dutch offshore services provider, have undertaken a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) tow mission across the Atlantic.
Boskalis has shed light on the role its ocean-going tugs BOKA Alpine and BOKA Glacier recently played in completing a major FPSO towage operation. Each with a bollard pull of 205 metric tons, these sister vessels towed MODEC’s FPSO Cidade de Niterói (MV18) from the Campos Basin offshore Brazil to Frederikshavn in Denmark.
After a voyage of approximately six weeks, including a bunkering stop in Cape Verde, the FPSO was delivered to Denmark. The company claims that the transatlantic tow of the 315-meter-long FPSO demonstrated its expertise in complex long-distance towing operations.
