The FPSO Cidade do Rio de Janeiro Halted Its Operations with Petrobras in 2018 and Modec Has Been Conducting the Decommissioning of the Unit Since Then

MODEC informed that, on February 18, 2020, the FPSO Cidade do Rio de Janeiro MV14, operated by Petrobras in the Campos Basin for over a decade, was towed and left Brazilian territorial waters heading to its final destination abroad. The FPSO will be recycled, and the process will follow the safety and environmental recommendations of the Hong Kong International Convention, which is a multilateral convention for the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships.

In preparation for this movement, MODEC has been conducting cleaning and repair activities for the FPSO at Jurong Aracruz Shipyard in Espírito Santo since December 2019. MODEC followed all the steps of the process defined by the competent authorities.

The decommissioning process was already underway when the hull cracked, spilling oil into the sea at the Espadarte Field (recall the case here). It was decided by the companies that the FPSO would be towed to EJA.
