Liza Destiny FPSO Begins Her Voyage to Guyana
Tuesday 30 July 2019
The Liza Destiny FPSO is currently sailing to Guyana, having recently departed from Keppel shipyard in Singapore. This key milestone follows a record turnaround time of just over 20 months for its construction phase by SBM Offshore – including module construction at nearby Dyna-Mac yard.
“The safe and on-time departure of Liza Destiny represents a great achievement for the project team. This first vessel constructed for Guyana has benefitted from the team’s vast experience and expertise for the execution of such large capacity FPSOs, as well as the added value of our sub-contractors. We wish her and her crew a safe voyage,” says Severine Baudic, Managing Director Floating Production Solutions.
Following the successful EPC phase, the project team handed over to SBM Offshore’s Operations team.
“We are happy to welcome Liza Destiny FPSO into SBM Offshore’s fleet. We know her well, having been involved from the initial phases of her design and construction, ensuring that the FPSO benefits from the know-how of over 320 years of cumulative operations experience. We look forward to cooperating closely with our client, ExxonMobil, to ensure that the start-up is a success, in line with their plan,” says Oivind Tangen, Managing Director – Operations.
Once the FPSO arrives at the Liza field in Guyanese waters it will be hooked up to the subsea system, allowing the next phase of operations to start.
July, 2019 Liza Destiny FPSO departs from Singapore where the conversion of the hull, as well as the construction and integration of the topsides, took place. The voyage to Guyana will take less than two months.
