Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M), through its subsidiary, Keppel FELS Brasil BrasFELS shipyard has been awarded a US$137 million floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) module fabrication and integration project by Modec Offshore Production Systems (Singapore).

Slated to depart the shipyard in Q3 2017, the FPSO will be deployed at Tartaruga Verde and Tartaruga Mestiça Fields, in the Campos Basin, off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
