The FPSO was divested by BW Offshore in June 2023 to CNRI for a total consideration of $20m (£15.2m).

Upon completion of the sale, around 110 personnel currently supporting the FPSO, including those onshore and on the vessel, will transition from BW Offshore to Petrofac.

Petrofac said the transition of people and operatorship is planned for completion before the end of July 2023.
