TMC has won a contract to supply the marine compressed air system to the Bacalhau FPSO that Japan's MODEC is building for Equinor. The deal is one of TMC's biggest ever orders.
TMC will supply the FPSO’s complete compressed air system consisting of several large offshore screw compressors, air dryers and filter systems, the company said,

TMC, based in Oslo, has not disclosed the value of the contract.
The FPSO will be deployed at the Bacalhau field, which is located in in 2,050 meters deep waters, approximately 185 kilometers off the coast of Ilhabela, São Paulo, Brazil.
