OSLO, Norway – Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) has contracted TMC Compressors to supply the marine compressed air system to a newbuild FPSO.

The vessel is under construction forSBM Offshore at a yard on the Yangtze River in China.

The system will comprise four 400-kW service air compressors with associated air dryers and filters.

TMC’s Per Kjellin said: “The SWS yard clearly stated that they want equipment that has been specifically developed for marine applications – not land-based compressors that have been marinized.”
