Kvaerner Masa Fits

Neste Tanker With

Statoil's STL System

Neste and Kvaerner Masa-Yards have signed a contract for a new type of bow-loading system to be installed in Neste's 91,000-dwt tanker M/T Futura. The new sys- tem, patented by Norway's Statoil and known as Submerged Turret

Loading (STL), allows oil to be taken directly from a production platform even in rough seas and in Arctic conditions. The system was put into use for the first time at the end of 1994, when the Futura participated in transporting oil cargoes from the

Harding field in the British waters of the North Sea.

The contract for the installation of the new loading system is worth about $13.5 million. The conversion will take place at Kvaerner Masa-

Yards' Turku New Shipyard. M/T

Futura will arrive at the yard in early August and will be redelivered at the end of September.

The Submerged Turret Loading system allows the vessel to be hooked up to a submerged loading buoy moored to the seabed. Crude oil is 18 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
