FMC Technologies Receives Order For CALM Buoys
FMC Technologies, Inc. announced that it has received an order from Ramseyer & Miller International Inc., an affiliate of Techint International Construction Corporation, for the supply of two SOFEC™ CALM (catenary anchor leg mooring) buoy marine export terminals, for installation offshore Ecuador, South America. FMC SOFEC Floating Systems is the designer of the buoys. One of the buoys is planned to be delivered new from inventory, and an essentially identical second buoy is anticipated to be constructed for the project. Each buoy is planned to be equipped for mooring and loading various size export tankers with heavy crude oil received from a new, 300-mile (500-kilometer) pipeline being constructed by Techint. Installation of the buoys is scheduled for early 2003.
FMC SOFEC Wins Kizomba B Contract
FMC Technologies, Inc.'s FMC SOFEC Floating Systems unit has received an order for the design and analysis of the FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) spread mooring system for the Kizomba B project offshore Angola, West Africa. FMC SOFEC Floating Systems' client for this project is Hyundai Heavy Industries. FMC SOFEC Floating Systems was previously awarded a contract for the spread mooring system for the Kizomba A project. The design for Kizomba B will be similar, with the exception of necessary modifications for the shallower water depth compared with Kizomba A. In addition, FMC SOFEC Floating Systems will also provide consulting services to coordinate the offshore installation, which is scheduled for 2005.
