FPSO contract from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. for TMC Compressors of the Seas

TMC Compressors of the Seas (TMC) has been awarded a contract to supply the marine compressed air system to a newbuild FPSO that the yard is constructing for SBM Offshore by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. Ltd (SWS). 

This is the third newbuild FPSO that SWS will build based on SBM Offshore’s Fast4Ward hull and standardised topsides modules, which are designed to secure reliable execution and lower costs. TMC has not disclosed the value of the contract.

TMC will supply the equipment to SWS in China. TMC said in the release its scope of work “is to provide a compressed air system consisting of four large service and instrument air compressors with associated air dryers and filters”. 

By way of background, in January 2018, TMC was awarded the contract to supply the marine compressed air system to the first of the three FPSOs. In 2019, TMC was then awarded the contract for the second Fast4Ward FPSO.
