Lankhorst Ropes Offshore Division has been awarded a contract by Eni to supply the polyester rope mooring lines for the Goliat FPSO vessel.The Goliat FPSO will be positioned 85km offshore, north west of Hammerfest in Production Licence 229 (PL 229) and PL 229B in the Barents Sea offshore Norway.The cylindrically shaped Goliat FPSO will be moored with 14 polyester mooring lines in three clusters of four, four and six lines at 400m (1,312ft) water depth.Given the weather conditions in the Barents Sea, and rela-tively shallow water depth, the Goliat FPSO will use a semi-taut leg mooring system to limit movement of the FPSO.Lankhorst said: "In order to minimise the potential damage of trawl wire impact, Lankhorst Ropes is developing a trawler wire resistant rope jacket for the polyester rope lines. The jacket will be an integral part of the rope construction during manufacture at Lankhorst's offshore rope production facility in Portugal."
