It has enhanced the working safety, and has a bow loading system to achieve loading of crude oil from FPSO. It also meets the NOx Tier III and SOx emission requirements and is more environment-friendly.

It is the first FPSO that meets new rules of of DNV?GL and has extensive serviceability and compatibility and is suitable for Brazilian, West African and Australian ocean. DSIC has received orders for this FPSO and this will lay a solid foundation for DSIC to adjust its product structure and achieve high-quality development.

DSIC has close cooperation with of DNV?GL in R&D of new types of vessels and offshore equipment. This new ship design is another successful example of win-win cooperation between both parties in innovation.
