IHC Hytop has been awarded a contract for the procurement and construction of 2 hose reels for the Tupi pilot FPSO (Cidade de Angra dos Reis) by Modec offshore production Systems (Sing) Pte. Ltd. The engineering for this project, executed by IHC Offshore Systems, was already awarded previously to IHC Hytop. Herewith IHC Hytop will supply the 2 hose reels as a turn-key engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) project. The supply of IHC Hytop also includes the offloading hose strings.   The hose reels are positioned on the extreme bow and stern end of the FPSO and are used to store the FPSO’s 20” 300# offloading hoses. These offloading hoses will be reeled on and off frequently to offload the FPSO’s crude oil to nearby shuttle tankers.   Fabrication of the hose reels takes place in Singapore. From Singapore the hose reels, complete with hose strings, will be transported to the conversion yard in the Dalian area in China for installation on the FPSO. In December and January the hydraulics, E&I and testing will be completed on the fabrication yard under supervision of HC Hytop. Herewith IHC Hytop turns 250 tons of steel and 170 tons of rubber in to a turn-key supplied product in only 26 weeks. This fast delivery was one of the key factors for Modec to award this contract to IHC Hytop. The Singapore branch of IHC Parts & Services takes care, on behalf of IHC Hytop, of the day-to-day progress and QC control on the fabrication yard.   IHC hytop b.v., IHC Offshore Systems b.v. and the Singapore branch of IHC Parts & Services are all subsidiaries of IHC Merwede B.V.
