In a press statement, SBM Offshore stated: “Both Keppel and Dyna-Mac shipyards are fabricating the topsides modules for the Liza Unity FPSO.

“This FPSO represents SBM Offshore’s first Fast4Ward design, benefitting from standardisation of the project’s execution plan and using a fully completed and commissioned MPF hull, which sets the benchmark for future FPSO projects.”

SBM Offshore noted that the latest milestone aligns with the Liza Phase 2 project schedule, which targets departure of the FPSO to its final location at the Liza field next year.

The start-up is anticipated for 2022.

In October last year, SBM Offshore completed the project financing of Liza Unity for a consideration of $1.14bn.
