Keppel rolls out FPSO for Ezra

Keppel Shipyard is on track to deliver the Lewek Arunothai floating, production, storage and offloading vessel to Singapore-based marine construction and support group Ezra for a South East Asian client.

The FPSO can store 725,000 barrels and has the capacity to export 175 million cubic feet of gas per day. The vessel, which was named last week, underwent refurbishment at Keppel’s Subic Shipyard in the Philippines while the engineering, procurement and topside fabrication were in progress in Singapore. The ship then sailed to Keppel Offshore & Marine offshoot Keppel Shipyard to complete the remaining conversion and topside works. “With the combined efforts of EOC, Keppel and our contractor partners, this project in our two shipyards, have achieved a total of 1.4 million man-hours worked to date with no reportable loss time incident. I wish to thank everyone involved for contributing to Keppel’s ultimate goal of achieving a yard-wide incident free environment,” Keppel Shipyard’s director Nelson Yeo said. Singapore listed Ezra Holdings holds a 48.9% stake in EOC after selling off half its holding late last year.
