“The movement of the FPSO Anna Nery to the second shipyard is an important milestone for us at Yinson and an indicator that, despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the project is still progressing smoothly according to schedule,” said Scott, project manager of FPSO Anna Nery Bendiksen.

“In this next phase, the FPSO will undergo two dry dockings and additional conversion work. It will be installed at the Changxing shipyard until the third quarter of 2021, before returning to Qidong for the final phase of lifting and module integration,” he continued.
The Petrobras FPSO Anna Nery is Yinson’s first asset in Brazil and the largest project to date. The platform will have a capacity to process up to 70,000 bpd of oil and 4 million cbm of natural gas in the Marlim field and is expected to achieve first oil by the first quarter of 2023, where it will remain for 25 years.
