Bibby Ship Management Singapore has been appointed as the technical and crewing managers for the FPSO vessel »OSX 2«, working[ds_preview] in conjunction with overall project managers Tecnomar & Associates. The Singapore office has also secured a contract with Global Samson to take over the management of two platform supply vessels (PSVs), the »Ocean Turquoise 1« and another vessel which is currently being finalised. The contract wins come on the back of Bibby Ship Management securing a contract to supply crew management services to Chevron North Sea’s »Alba« floating storage unit (FSU).
»OSX 2« is a platform for the production and storage of oil, originating from the modification of a VLCC (previously named the »Concorde Spirit«). The adaptation was performed by SBM Offshore Singapore, at the premises of the shipyard Keppel, in 2013. The FPSO was rebuilt, in accordance with the rules and regulations of ABS as class, for a useful life of 20 years without the need for repairs. The vessel provides accommodation for up to 80 people as well as a helideck and facilities for the storage and transfer of oil, services and utilities.
Bibby Ship Management, part of the Bibby Line Group, operates in 16 locations in eight countries. It manages over 60 vessels of which 50% are employed in the offshore industry.
