Wartsila Hamworthy has been contracted by Brazilian shipyard Ecovix-Engevix Construcoes Oceanicas to deliver inert gas generator units for eight floating production, storage, and offloading vessels (FPSOs) in the Santos Basin.
The company reported today that six of the FPSOs are to be deployed for the Tupi fields with the other two being utilized for the Guara Field. The first two inert gas generator units will undergo full scale testing at the Wartsila Hamworthy factory in Moss, Norway prior to delivery starting as soon as the end of December this year, up to the end of January 2015.
