Wärtsilä will supply a series of pumps to be installed on a new floating storage unit (FSU). The FSU is being built by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea for Statoil, the Norway based international energy company. When completed, it will be located on the Heidrun oil and gas field in the Norwegian Sea.
Delivery of the Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for February 2014.
Deep Well Pumping System
The order for the deep well cargo offloading pumping system and the fire water pump package includes 38 deep well cargo pumps produced at Wärtsilä Svanehøj in Denmark, three fire water pump skids and two ballast pumps. The latter items are produced at Wärtsilä Pumps in Singapore. The electrically driven systems feature low noise levels, high system efficiency, and simple maintenance.
Wärtsilä Hamworthy has recently delivered deep well and fire water pumps built by the Samsung Heavy Industries yard for other floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels for the offshore sector.
