Keppel wins FPSO jobs worth $162m
Singapore: Singapore's Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) won two contracts worth SGD200m ($161.5m) from repeat customers for works on floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units.

Keppel O&M's subsidiary Keppel FELS Brasil has integrated the topside modules of a FPSO for Modec and Toyo Offshore Production Systems (MTOPS).

Another subsidiary Keppel Shipyard has been engaged by SBM Offshore to fabricate an internal turret for a newbuild FPSO, which will be installed in the Ichthys Field in the Browse Basin, offshore Western Australia.

“BrasFELS and MTOPS' first FPSO project was delivered safely and 19 days ahead of schedule; the second project is underway and on track for delivery in the second quarter of 2014,” said Tong Chong Heong, ceo of Keppel O&M.

Meanwhile, Keppel Shipyard's ongoing projects for SBM Offshore are the conversion of FPSO OSX-2 for Brazil as well as modification and upgrading of FPSO N'Goma for Angola. SBM Offshore is also working with Keppel Singmarine on the newbuilding of a multi-purpose dive support construction vessel.
