According to Royal IHC, the FPSO will be installed in Petrobras' Marlim field in the Campos basin, 150 km off the coast of Brazil
Royal IHC said the equipment would be placed on Anna Nery's Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel on behalf of the Yinson company. Yinson secured the contract in October 2019 to convert a 2002-built crude oil tanker into the Anna Nery FPSO. The company will operate and maintain the vessel. The vessel will be installed in the Marlim 2 oil field in the Campos Basin, 150 kilometers off the coast of Brazil, in a water depth of 930 meters.
