    BANGKOK, Thailand – InterMoor has completed an installation program for the new FSOBenchamas 2 in the Gulf of Thailand, built by MISC Berhad for operator Chevron.

    The vessel replaces the FSOBenchamas Explorer, which had been in service in block B8/32 since 1999.

    MISC Berhad converted the replacement from an Aframax crude oil tanker.
