COPENHAGEN, Denmark—Maersk Supply Service has signed an assignment agreement with TechnipFMC for the comprehensive towing and mooring campaign of Petrobras’ Búzios 6 project (seventh module of Búzios) offshore Brazil.
The scope covers the preinstallation of the mooring system and hookup of the FPSO P-78. The P-78 will be the seventh FPSO in the Búzios Field located in the Santos Basin.
The project will be carried out over almost 2 years, with onshore work (including engineering, procurement and project management for such assigned activities) already underway, and offshore work that is expected to utilize two of Maersk Supply Service’s M-class anchorhandlers, which will be supported by an additional four anchorhandling tug supply vessels for the station keeping.
This award follows the successful completion of the Mero 2 contract for the FPSO Sepetiba, for the preinstallation of the mooring system at more than 2,000 m water depth. This major project involved the procurement and installation of 24 torpedo anchors, and the subsequent abandon of the polyester mooring lines.
