INDUSTRY NEWS Yinson Orders FPSO Compressors from TMC
Global FPSO provider Yinson has contracted TMC Compressors (TMC) to deliver the marine compressed air system to FPSO Anna Nery, which is destined for Brazil.
TMC will deliver a large marine compressed air system to FPSO (floating, production, storage and offloading vessel) Anna Nery. The compressed air system will consist of four large capacity service and instrument air compressors with associated air dryers and filters. TMC has not disclosed the value of the contract.
“When you operate far from shore, you need powerful and reliable air supply onboard. Our marine compressed air systems have been designed solely for marine and offshore use. We never utilise compressors that have been developed for land-based applications and since marinized. We believe this approach has made us the favoured system provider for most FPSO operators,” says Hans Petter Tanum, TMC’s Director of Sales and Business Development.
TMC will manufacture the equipment in Europe and deliver it to Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry’s yard in Qidong, China, which has been tasked with converting the 308,900 dwt VLCC Falcon to FPSO Anna Nery.
FPSO Anna Nery will be able to produce 70,000 barrels of oil and 4 million cubic metres of gas per day. Yinson will
Fugro Performs First Fully Remote Platform Inspection on UK Continental Shelf
Fugro has delivered the first fully remote inspection of an oil and gas platform in UK waters, 250 km east of Scotland, using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and Fugro’s state-of-the art remote operations centre (ROC) in Aberdeen. In a first for the UK sector, the platform’s entire jacket structure was inspected remotely, demonstrating Fugro’s proficiency in remote operations capabilities.
Fugro originally intended to trial the remote inspection provision during the campaign. However, when only one offshore inspection engineer was

able to mobilise to the platform due to Covid-19, inspection engineers based at Fugro’s ROC in Aberdeen stepped in and delivered the whole project remotely to stay on schedule. The ROV was mobilised with dedicated remote systems for visual inspection, cathodic protection (CP) and flooded member detection (FMD), and all systems were base-checked to confirm communications links with the ROC. Fugro also transacted a COABIS database across the onshore and offshore locations; this allowed the client and ROC personnel to access data acquired by the ROV in near real time.
Karl Daly, Fugro’s Director for IRM services in Europe, said:
“This innovative approach allowed for efficient scope delivery and demonstrates to all our clients the opportunities for maximising operational windows whilst reducing offshore HSSE exposure, which is always important but even more so during the current pandemic.”
be responsible for the charter and operation of the vessel, which will be deployed as part the Marlim revitalisation project in the Campos Basin approximately 150 kilometres off the Brazilian coast, at 930 metres water depth. The FPSO is estimated to come online in 2023.
Yinson is a leading energy solutions provider, with a presence in 11 countries. Its fleet includes seven floating production assets, of which two are currently under conversion.
“We are proud to be chosen as supplier to support Yinson’s first vessel to operate in Brazilian waters,” adds Tanum.
TMC is a global supplier of compressed air systems for marine and offshore use. The company is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
