Yinson is pleased to announce that FPSO Anna Nery has entered her next phase of construction, marked by the sailing away from the Cosco Qidong shipyard in Jiangsu, China to Cosco Changxing shipyard in Shanghai on 23 September 2020 for her first dry docking.

FPSO Anna Nery is Yinson’s first Brazil asset and largest project to date. The FPSO is contracted by client, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) and is expected to be deployed at the Marlim field in Campos Basin, offshore Brazil by 2023.

The overall conversion works are progressing well, with major demolition activities and steel repairs completed. The FPSO Anna Nery project management team has also completed conducting progress surveys on the vessel, giving the team a more accurate picture of the extent of repair works the vessel will need over the next couple of months.

“FPSO Anna Nery’s movement into the second shipyard is an important milestone for us at Yinson, and an indicator that despite the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, the project is still progressing smoothly according to schedule,” said FPSO Anna Nery’s Project Manager Scott Bendiksen.

“In this upcoming phase, the FPSO will undergo two dry dockings and more conversion works. She will be based at the Changxing shipyard until third quarter 2021 before making her way back to Qidong for the final phase of module lifting and integration,” he continued.
