IHC Winches to Deliver FPSO Riser
IHC Winches will design and manufacture a riser pull-in spread for a MODEC FPSO. Part of this system will be built in Brazil to meet the local content requirements for the project, with delivery scheduled for Q1 2013.
The riser pull-in package consists of the following innovative products: a riser pull-in winch (designed for a 550mT maximum line pull); an auxiliary pull-in winch (150mT maximum line pull); and a sheave trolley system.
The MODEC FPSO will be capable of processing 150,000 barrels of oil and 280MM-standard cubic feet of gas per day. It also has a total storage capacity of 1,600,000 barrels of fluid and will be moored in a water depth of 2,300 m.
IHC Winches is part of IHC Merwede.
