Chinese yards win Brazil floater modules prize

摘要

AT least four Chinese yards have won subcontracts to build modules for a floating production, storage and offloading vessel destined for Petrobras' Marlim field revitalisation project off Brazil. CIMC Raffles, Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry, Bomesc Offshore Engineering and Zhuhai Jutal Offshore Engineering have all landed work on the Anna Nery (Marlim 2) floater, which is being supplied by Malaysia's Yinson. The four are working as subcontractors for ABB, water treatment specialist Veolia, Norwegian top-sides contractor Aragon, Australian engineering player Jord Oil & Gas Systems, and Dutch company Frames Group to build 20 modules carrying a total steel weight of 25,000 tonnes for the FPSO.
