Offshore service provider Drydocks World has signed an agreement to carry out construction of the Turret Mooring System (TMS) for Statoil’s Johan Castberg Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.
During the permanent mooring of the Johan Castberg FPSO in Norway Drydock will be responsible for passively weathervane around the anchor legs while simultaneously transferring fluids, power, and communications signals between the vessel and subsea equipment.
Mr. Mohammad Rizal, Drydocks World’s chief operating officer, said: “Drydocks World has a strong track record in delivering Turret Mooring Systems with an excellent safety and quality record. We have delivered the world’s largest turret to SBM Offshore, which positioned our yard as a global specialist with expertise in delivering large complex projects.
“This is the 3rd turret that SBM Offshore has awarded to Drydocks World. Our long term business relationship started from 1996 with the first FSO conversion and since then we have successfully completed several FPSO projects.
“Drydocks World is committed to once again deliver a safe and quality product in a timely manner that fully meets our client’s expectations.”
