Woodside also said on Wednesday that, by the time it berthed in Dalian, the vessel had been named FPSO Léopold Sédar Senghor after Senegal’s first president from 1960 to 1980.
Before it departed Indonesia for China the vessel had to be cleaned of residual hydrocarbons, and its tank bulkhead thickness inspected to confirm the hull’s structural integrity and aid development of the refurbishment scope.
Other shipyards in China will be used to complete the work necessary for the vessel’s conversion to an FPSO and Woodside workers will be working in four yards.
In parallel, Woodside has mobilised an engineering and project management team to MODEC’s office in Singapore.
