The fluids handling specialist has received an order covering electric driven cargo pump systems for eight Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (FPSOs) from Brazilian shipyard Engevix Construcões Oceânicas S.A.. The equipment will be delivered between 2012 and 2014.
The eight FPSOs, each having the storage capacity of 1,600,000 barrels of oil, are in principle assigned to various field developments in the pre-salt area of Santos Basin.
Hamworthy said that, for each FPSO, it would deliver twelve cargo pumps, two slop pumps, two ballast pumps and two emergency pumps, including switchboards and electric motors.
