The contract for the project was awarded to Yinson by Petrobras in October last year. It remains valid for 25 years.

The Marlim field is located approximately 150km from Rio de Janeiro, off the southeast coast of Brazil.

Sumitomo said that the Marlim II project represents its second FPSO vessel business following the company’s field development project offshore Ghana in 2018.

Yinson Group CEO Lim Chern Yuan said: “Yinson and Sumitomo have a longstanding relationship built on trust and cooperation. In Sumitomo, we saw a partner that, like us, was seeking long-term strategic partnership – not just financial returns on a single project.
