Egina FPSO Modular Integration, a Huge Success!

The Egina FPSO project has recorded yet another successful module integration. This happened on Monday, 2nd of April, 2018 at SHI-MCI FZE Yard. The first modular integration was done on the 19th of March, 2018. The FPSO has made so much progress since January 24th when it berthed.

The integration phase in shipbuilding is one that involves series of procedures which come together to achieve set objectives. This recent integration referred to as modular integration saw the finishing of six (6) modules namely: P1- Chemical Injection; P4 - Pancake (for future equipment); P8 - Oil Offloading, oil metering; S1- SW booster, Minox Deoxygenating & Backwash; S2- Fine Filtration, Water Injection & Corrosion Inhibitor; S8- Pancake (for future equipment).

These modules were fully fabricated here in Nigeria and were all-ready a week before integration.

Speaking on this recent feat, a spokesperson from the Integration Team has this to say: “We are very delighted about this feat, it is one of many as we strive to deliver this landmark project. The management and staff of SHI-MCI as well as all our contractors have been very instrumental to achieving this milestone. All hands are on deck to make Africa's largest FPSO a success”!
