The vessel is heading to the deepwater Mero Field in the Santos Basin, where it will operate for a consortium headed by Petrobras.

SBM Offshore has a 22-year lease and operation contract for the Sepetiba FPSO, which is designed to produce up to 180,000 bbl/d of oil with storage capacity of 1.4 MMbbl.

It should deliver first oil later this year.
