Key Points
- Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd (Keppel O&M) has delivered the P-57 Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel to SBM Offshore N.V. (SBM) early, within budget and safely.
- Spanning 311 metres long by 56 metres wide, or almost three football fields, P-57 is one of the largest Brazilian FPSOs to be converted, under a turnkey supply contract between SBM and Petrobras Netherlands B.V (Petrobras) for the Jubarte field, offshore Espirito Santo.
- The upgrading and pre-conversion of the 255,272-dwt tanker, MT Accord, into the P-57 was completed at Keppel Shipyard in Singapore earlier this year, with the shipyard receiving SGD 1 million (USD761,000) in bonus from SBM for the safe and timely completion.
- After the vessel sailed to Brazil, further work performed at Keppel FELS Brasil SA’s BrasFELS yard in Angra dos Reis included the fabrication and integration of topside modules, piping and electrical equipment, as well as commissioning. The project has fulfilled the local content requirement of 68%, and was achieved with an outstanding safety record of about nine million incident-free man-hours to date.
