The Marine and Offshore

Division of Cegelec projects has won a contract from R & B Falcon to upgrade the Seillean FPSO ves- sel. The contract is for the supply, installation and commissioning of a dynamic positioning system (DPS). Seillean will be used by

Petrobras in the Roncador field, on a production well of approximately 6,300 ft (1,900 m). To help opera- tion in such depths, Cegelec will provide its triple voting DPS 903.

The DPS 903 comprises a three unit suite, each unit capable of controlling the vessel indepen- dently. If a fault occurs in one of the three units, the remaining two downgrade to a Duplex DP control system. Cegelec will also provide an acoustic reference system for accurate position measuring.

Cegelec has also been awarded two contracts by Pride Foramer to supply and install Alspa VDM medium voltage drives for two drillships, Pride Africa (conver- sion) and Pride Angola.
