The modules will be transported from Aibel’s yard in Thailand to Singapore where they will be integrated on a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit, before the FPSO is installed offshore Ghana.

“We are very pleased to continue our good relationship with MODEC here in South East Asia. This project follows on from Tupi, Guara and OSX-3 and we expect additional projects from MODEC in the future,” says Nick Routledge, VP Operations and Business Development Aibel Asia.

The end client is Tullow Ghana Ltd. The FPSO will operate in deep waters off Ghana, West Africa.
