Sembcorp Marine Strikes S$351 Million FPSO Conversion Deal

The Jurong Shipyard will convert an oil tanker to a Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO) for Teekay Petrojarl Production AS.

In a statement, Sembcorp Marine said the conversion contract for the MT Arc II (ex MT Arc), an Aframax tanker, includes detailed engineering, installation and integration of 16 topside modules, installation of spread mooring and power generation systems, accommodation upgrading, and extensive piping and electrical cabling works.

The vessel, which will be renamed FPSO Petrojarl Cidade de Itajai, is scheduled for delivery in the 1st quarter of 2012.

“The award of this key contract is an affirmation of Jurong Shipyard’s proven expertise in offshore conversion, our strong execution capabilities as well as our high standards of workplace safety and health. We would like to thank Teekay for placing their confidence in us and we look forward to a fruitful partnership ahead,” Mr Don Lee, Senior General Manager of JSPL's Offshore Division said.

Mr Peter Lytzen, President & CEO of Teekay Petrojarl Production AS said, “We are delighted to have signed our first FPSO contract with Jurong Shipyard and see this as the start of long and mutually rewarding relationship. JSPL has built a reputation as a 1st class offshore construction yard with a strong track record in delivering successful turnkey projects. We are very confident JSPL will deliver to Teekay a quality product that meets our expectations in every respect and we’re looking forward to taking the FPSO into operation.”

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
