northern endeavourAceteon’s Moorings and Anchor’s business line, Intermoor, has secured a contract from Petrofac to cover the engineering, mooring equipment, marine spread, installation and removal of a temporary mooring system for the FPSO Northern Endeavour.

The Northern Endeavour permanently shut down in 2019 in the Timor Sea, approximately 550km northwest of Darwin, Australia. Petrofac is managing the decommissioning and disconnection of the vessel.

Under the contract, Aceteon will be responsible for the project management and engineering (PME), design, provision, installation, and recovery of the temporary mooring system, including full mobilisation and demobilisation.

Chee-Hoe Tay, General Manager at Intermoor APAC, said, “We’re proud to leverage our global expertise to support Petrofac on this high-profile decommissioning campaign involving the Australian Government. Our team is fully committed to delivering a safe, seamless execution, and to exceeding expectations through close collaboration, innovation and operational excellence.”

The Northern Endeavour will be positioned offshore Singapore during its decommissioning phase.
