When completed in 4Q20, the vessel will be chartered to Gazpromneft Marine Bunker for operations in the Baltic Sea.
Another contract is by Keppel Shipyard and an operator of floating production vessels for the fabrication of a new aft hull for a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.
Keppel Shipyard will be responsible for the design of the aft hull, procurement of equipment, as well as fabrication, outfitting, integration and commissioning work on board the existing FPSO. The installation will also include a new accommodation block which can accommodate up to 140 personnel.
The FPSO has already arrived in the shipyard in preparation for the upgrade, and work on the vessel is scheduled to commence in 1Q19 with delivery slated by end-2020.
