SBM awards Ampelmann FPSO maintenance contract

Ampelmann has been awarded a contract by SBM Offshore Contractors in support of an FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) maintenance campaign in the Espírito Santo Basin, Brazil. Ampelmann will provide an E-type system in January 2017 with a scope that includes transport, importation, engineering and provision of offshore access services.

“After two successful FPSO campaigns in Brazil last year, it is very positive to see the demand for our services continuing to grow,” said Sander Groenteman, business development manager for Brazil.

The Ampelmann E-type system is the largest fully active compensated system within the Ampelmann portfolio and has already performed in sea states above 4.5m significant wave height in Brazilian waters. Over the course of two recent Brazilian projects in the last 12 months, Ampelmann provided over 15,000 safe transfers.
