FPSO Anasuria (Sigma 3/Shell)
Client: Sigma 3/Shell
Project: FPSO Anasuria
Scope of Work: 200 tonne SWL Anchor Mooring Winch
Project details
ACE Winches was contracted by Sigma 3 (North Sea) Ltd to design, manufacture, install and commission a bespoke 200 tonne SWL replacement anchor mooring winch to lift and tension the mooring lines of the FPSO Anasuria.
The Anasuria was the first purpose built Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel to be constructed for Shell UK Exploration and Production in the UK North Sea.
Completed successfully in 2009, this project raised the profile of ACE Winches within the oil and gas sectors, resulting in an increase in enquiries from companies recognising ACE's ability to design and manufacture bespoke winches to a very high standard. In addition, the company's ability to supply trained and experienced personnel to install, commission and operate winches anywhere in the world is seen as a unique selling point.
