Hæwene Brim lead mechanical technician Steve Williams said: "The Royston team have been extremely professional throughout and have really worked hard at all times.

"The team is very well balanced in terms of their skills and expertise and have also fitted in very well on board. I cannot commend them enough, and look forward to working with them again on the next overhaul."

Built in 1996 at Samsung ship yard, Korea, as a multi-purpose shuttle tanker (MST), the Hæwene Brim was converted to an FPSO at Aker McNulty yard in Newcastle by its previous owners in late 1997-1998.

Since 1999, the facility has operated in the UK’s Pierce Field in the North Sea for client Shell UK Exploration & Production.
