The vessel was planned according to FPSO hull main specifications, which includes Norsoks and DNV Class Rules. It also reached the requirements of the Norweigan and Petroleum Safety regulatory conditions.

Other notable milestones hit by the project include 38 million man-hours without serious incidents, and a total recordable incident rate of 0.16, one of the lowest recorded for a newbuild project.

“In the last two years, both Team Equinor and Team Sembmarine worked under extreme challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet both teams remained determined to keep the project going. We witnessed great teamwork and collaboration, open dialogue and close partnership to achieve today’s on-schedule delivery and sailaway, without compromise to high HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment and Quality) standards and rigorous verification processes,” said Wang Zijian, Head of Operations, Sembcorp Marine.

Upon its final completion in Norway, the FPSO vessel is scheduled for deployment at the Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea, around 240 km from Hammerfest, Norway.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
