Keppel plays it safe on Kizomba floaters



By Upstream staff 

Singapore’s Keppel Shipyard Limited said its employees had worked more than 11 million hours with no lost-time incidents on two floating production, storage and offloading vessel conversions destined for the Kizomba C project off Angola.

Keppel passed the safety milestone after spending 6 million work hours on the FPSO Saxi Batuque, which was named in a ceremony yesterday. The shipyard worked five million hours on the FPSO Mondo, which was delivered to SBM Offshore and field operator ExxonMobil last year.

Keppel said the achievement was the result of a seven-year safety partnership with SBM and ExxonMobil.

The Saxe Batuque was christened yesterday by Angola’s Minister of Planning, Ana Dias Lourenco.

The vessel will be capable of processing 100,000 barrels oil per day and storing 1.6 million barrels of crude on board, when stalled on the Kizomba C field.
