Aqualis Offshore successfully completed its position keeping role for the Egina FPSO which is now safely moored in Nigerian waters. The Aqualis team of position keeping masters on board the FPSO first oversaw the installation of the first four mooring lines, which took the FPSO to storm safe condition. The team then continued their role for the installation of four further mooring lines.
In total, the Egina FPSO is now spread moored on 16 mooring lines (4×4).
Aqualis Offshore delivered the position keeping work as a subcontractor to EPCIC contractor for the FPSO, Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI).
