This is the third TMS that SBM Offshore has awarded to Drydocks World
Drydocks World-Dubai, the service provider to the marine, offshore, oil, gas and renewable energy sectors has announced it has successfully completed construction on a Turret Mooring System (TMS) for Dutch-based SBM Offshore and end-client Equinor, formerly Statoil, the state-backed Norwegian energy company.
The TMS will be integrated with the Johan Castberg Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel in Singapore, and deployed for operation offshore in the Norwegian Barents Sea.
The over 8,000T internal TMS will enable the vessel to passively weathervane around the anchor legs, while simultaneously transferring fluids, power, and communications signals between the vessel and the subsea equipment. Drydocks World completed the TMS in four units, and was responsible for the production engineering, procurement, construction and testing of system components.
“At Drydocks World we have the expertise and facilities to deliver high quality offshore technology, and we are proud to successfully deliver this project with 4.98 million injury free man-hours,” affirmed Capt. Rado Antolovic, CEO, Drydocks World Dubai.
This is the third TMS that SBM Offshore has awarded to Drydocks World, a leader in specialist TMS fabrication, having previously completed the world’s largest TMS together.
