Royal IHC has signed a new contract for the engineering, procurement and construction of a tandem mooring and offloading system for an FSO vessel (Floating, Storage and Offloading).
The offloading system will be placed on the FSO vessel on behalf of Sembcorp Integrated Yard in Singapore. The vessel will be owned and operated by Maersk and is designated for the Culzean gas field, located in Block 22/25a of the UK continental shelf.
Offloading System
The offloading system will consist of an offloading hose-reel assembly complete with offloading hose and an OHTP (Outboard Hose Termination Piece), a mooring hawser reel assembly complete with quick-release mechanism, a control cabin, an auxiliary pull-in winch, an actuated emergency shutdown valve and a hydraulic power unit.
Delivery of the offloading system is set for autumn 2017. Due to close cooperation with IHC’s regional facilities in Singapore, the company is able to supply the offloading system with a high percentage of local materials. This was an important customer requirement.
