Norwegian authorities have given Statoil permission to use the Gina Krog FSO.
The FSO is a converted shuttle tanker destined for use as a storage vessel on the Gina Krog field, 250 kilometres west of Stavanger.
The field has been developed using a fixed steel platform and a storage vessel (FSO) for oil, and started production in June 2017.
Teekay owns and operates the FSO.
