Mammoet prepares for FPSO integration
Mammoet has begun preparations for lifting modules on to the P-76 floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) hull in Brazil. HLPFI reported in March that Mammoet Brazil had signed a contract with the consortium Techint-Technip (CTTP76) for the lifting of 20 modules onto the hull of the Petrobas P-76 FPSO vessel. All modules are currently located at the Unidade Offshore Techint (UOT) integration yard awaiting the arrival of the FPSO hull, which is presently at the Enseada Inhauma shipyard in Rio de Janeiro. Six weeks after the contract was signed, Mammoet mobilised one of its 5,000-tonne capacity PTC 200-DS cranes from the USA, for use in the integration of the oversize modules, which weigh up to 2,000 tonnes each.
