Dalian COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. completed a lot of construction nodes for two FPSO retrofit projects

A few days ago, the two FPSO retrofit projects of COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry in Dalian, MV32 and “Fulin“, have completed a number of construction nodes, and the progress of the project is progressing steadily. FPSO retrofitted MV32 successfully completed all module hoisting works and moved to the later stage of integration and debugging; FPSO retrofitted “Fulin” wheel completed the installation of the bow outer turret extension structure (TSS).

In order to ensure that all modules of MV32 can be hoisted before the Spring Festival, the MV32 project team has arranged hoisting plans on an hourly basis for the hoisting projects of the last two modules to ensure the continuity of module hoisting. After the module hoisting is completed, the MV32 project will focus on promoting the module pressure package inspection (MC), module commissioning, and integration with the main hull. The MV32 project has a total of 37 topsides modules with a total weight of more than 40,000 tons. Among them, the heaviest module exceeds 3600 tons. The highest module of the project is the Torch Tower, with a height of more than 175 meters, all built and installed by Dalian COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry. In order to ensure the safety and efficiency of the module hoisting operation, the project team coordinated resources in a unified manner and worked with the technical center and workshop to plan and formulate a hoisting plan, which ultimately ensured the smooth completion of the module hoisting work and was highly praised by the shipowner.

“Fulin” is the first single-point mooring FPSO modification project undertaken by Dalian COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry. Different from the traditional multi-point mooring FPSO, the single-point mooring FPSO has a vane effect and is suitable for operations in sea areas with relatively harsh environments. The economic benefits of mid-and far-sea operations. The connection structure of the outer turret at the bow of “Fulin” is the first construction and installation of Dalian COSCO SHIPPING Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. The extension structure will be connected to the single-point mooring module of the FPSO outer turret. High difficulty. The “Fulin” project team fully considered the loading interference, and successively organized production, technology, safety, and other relevant departments to check the interference before hoisting one by one, output the interference report, and compared the on-site check one by one, and carried out the components with interference in advance. Open the width and strictly implement the safety production preparations before hoisting to ensure the smooth completion of the hoisting and loading tasks.

大连中远海运重工两艘FPSO改装项目完成多项施工节点

日前，大连中远海运重工两艘FPSO改装项目MV32及“福林”轮先后完成了多项施工节点，工程进度稳步推进。FPSO改装MV32顺利完成所有模块吊装工程，转入后期整合调试阶段；FPSO改装“福林”轮完成艏部外转塔延伸结构（TSS）安装。

为保证春节前完成MV32所有模块吊装，MV32项目组对最后两个模块吊装工程按小时编排了吊装计划，保证了模块吊装的连续性。模块吊装完成后，MV32项目后续将重点推进模块压力包报验（MC）、模块调试以及与主船体之间的整合工程。MV32项目总计37个上部模块，总重量超过4万吨。其中，最重模块超过3600吨。项目最高模块为火炬塔，高度超过175米，全部由大连中远海运重工建造安装。为保障模块吊装作业的安全高效，项目组统一协调资源，会同技术中心及车间共同策划编制吊装方案，最终保证了模块吊装工作的顺利完成，并获得了船东高度赞誉。

“福林”为大连中远海运重工首次承接的单点系泊FPSO改装项目，与传统的多点系泊FPSO不同，单点系泊FPSO具有风向标效应，适用于环境较为恶劣海域作业，其具有明显的中、远海作业经济效益优势。“福林”轮艏部的外转塔连接结构为大连中远海运重工首次建造安装，该延伸结构将与FPSO外转塔单点系泊模块对接安装，其精度要求高，分段结构复杂，吊装难度大。“福林”项目组充分考虑搭载干涉，先后多次组织生产、技术、安全等相关部门对吊装前的干涉逐一进行排查，输出干涉报告，并比对现场逐个核对，对存在干涉的构件提前进行开幅，严格落实好各项吊装前的安全生产准备工作，确保了吊装搭载任务的顺利完成。
