Bluewater wins turret mooring contract for Rosebank project
HOOFDDORP, Netherlands -- Bluewater Energy Services has been awarded a contract from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) for the engineering, procurement, construction and integration (EPCI) of a major turret and mooring system for the Rosebank FPSO.
This turret and mooring system will be a key component of the Rosebank FPSO, which will be located about 175 km northwest of the Shetland Islands in a water depth of approximately 1,100 m.
The Rosebank turret and mooring system, which will permanently anchor the FPSO at its offshore location and allow it to weathervane, will be one of the largest turret and mooring systems ever designed and built, being about 80 m in height, with a process manifold/turntable of about 34 m in diameter.
Bluewater Energy Services B.V. will supply the turret and mooring system for integration at the construction yard of HHI in Ulsan, South Korea, where the Rosebank FPSO will be fabricated.
