Altera Infrastructure has scooped deals for Eni’s Baleine field off Ivory Coast that will see a shuttle tanker converted for storage.
The move is part of the UK-based company’s plan to redeploy its 45,100-dwt Voyageur Spirit (built 2008), a floating production, storage and offloading vessel, for phase two of the project over a 15-year term.
It will convert the 151,300-dwt suezmax shuttle tanker Nordic Brasilia (built 2004), controlled by subsidiary Altera Shuttle Tankers, into a floating storage and offloading unit for a charter of the same length.
