The FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba MV27 is deployed for operation in the Lapa (formerly Carioca) oil field in the “pre-salt” region of the Santos Basin off the coast of Brazil.
The FPSO’s new-build hull was constructed by Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (currently renamed as Mitsui E&S Holdings Co., Ltd.) in Chiba, Japan while its topsides process modules and related structures were constructed at a variety of locations in Asia - prior to installation, integration and commissioning in Singapore and Brazil.
This is the 11th vessel (FPSO/FSO) MODEC has delivered to the Brazilian oil & gas sector and represents the 5th MODEC FPSO delivered to the “pre-salt” region.
MODEC owns the FPSO and provides the operation and maintenance service for the FPSO under 20 year charter contract.
