41000t Floating Production Unit Bound for Angola on Boskalis’ Heavy Transport Vessel Blue Marlin

The Boskalis semi-submersible heavy transport vessel Blue Marlin is currently transporting an impressive offshore unit to Angola.

The cargo, formerly one of the largest semi-submersible drilling rigs of its generation, has been converted into a Floating Production Unit (FPU) and is now ready to play a key role in Congo’s first natural gas liquefaction project.

Even though the 80m by 68m, 41,000-ton structure is five meters wider than the 63-meter-wide deck of the Blue Marlin, the colossal FPU stands rock-solid on deck. And so the vessel is en route to Angola, where the cargo can be discharged soon.

Boskalis wishes the crew of the Blue Marlin a safe and successful voyage to Angola.
