Japanese floater specialist Modec has acquired a tanker from Belgian ship owner Euronav to convert into a floating production, storage and offloading unit.
A well-informed source said the Felicity tanker — a Suezmax unit — will be deployed, after conversion to an FPSO, on Eni’s $2 billion Amoca-Mizton-Tecoalli project off Mexico.
When Euronav flagged the tanker sale it would only say that the buyer was a “global supplier and operator of offshore floating platforms”.
