Vessel Description
The vessel is a permanently moored Floating Storage and Offloading unit deployed at the Upper Zakum offshore oil field in Abu Dhabi, UAE, operating under a long-term contract with ADNOC. Originally constructed as a VLCC tanker at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in South Korea in 2001, the vessel was subsequently converted to an FSO configuration, removing self-propulsion capability in favor of permanent mooring and storage operations. With a deadweight capacity exceeding 281,000 tonnes, it serves as a critical piece of offshore oil export infrastructure, receiving crude oil from the Upper Zakum field facilities and offloading to shuttle tankers for export. The unit operates under Marshall Islands registry and is managed by Euronav Ship Management.
