Eni said that the FPSO, supplied by Malaysian floater contractor Bumi Armada, is getting ready for its trip to Angola’s Block 15/06, after its naming ceremony took place on Friday.  

"The vessel will soon be ready to sail to its final destination where, once in position, it will commence mooring and hook-up operations,” Eni said.

The East Hub development project includes nine subsea wells, of which five are producers and four are water injectors, in water depths ranging between 450 and 550 metres.
