As SEVAN SSP enters 2021 and having seen Sevan floaters in operations for nearly 15 years, the Company experienced the 500th offloading from the Sevan FPSOs operating in the North Sea/Barents Sea fields.
The offloading methodology for a geostationary Sevan FPSO has proven successful in harsh environments, loading onto DP shuttle tankers.
Throughout the years, Sevan SSP has built up extensive experience and an efficient design tool for offloading system design, providing sufficient offloading availability for the operating FPSOs.
Before starting the offloading, the hose is transferred from the FPSO to the tanker.
