Latest Maersk FPSO to be delivered
Naming of "Maersk Peregrino"
"Maersk Peregrino" is chartered to Statoil for deployment in the Peregrino field in the Campos Basin, located 85 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This vessel was converted to Maersk FPSOs’ stringent requirements, which will prepare her to handle the heavy crude oil of the Peregrino field, and operate in its challenging environment safely and efficiently.
Work on "Maersk Peregrino" involved the marine conversion of a newbuild VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier); the installation and integration of the topside modules; the assembly, installation and integration of the APL internal turret; the fabrication and installation of the flare tower, process piperack and helideck; and the upgrading of the accommodation quarters.
Achieving first oil is expected in early 2011. "Maersk Peregrino" has a storage capacity of 1.6 million barrels of oil, and will be able to process 100,000 barrels of oil per day on location.
