Teekay Self-Propelled DP System En Route to Las Palmas
'Navion Anglia' (pictured) has commenced the sea passage
to Las Palmas with the HiLoad Dynamic Positioning No. 1 safely docked at
her port side.
Late 2012, Teekay Offshore announced an agreement to acquire this
self-propelled dynamic positioning (DP) system that attaches to and
keeps conventional tankers in position when loading from offshore
installations. Now Teekay say that the HiLoad DP is safely docked to the
'Navion Anglia' and bound for operation at Las Palmas, in the Canary
Islands. The vessel departed the Norwegian port of Kirstiansund in
southern Norway on a 10-year time charter contract with Petroleo
Baislero SA (Petrobras).
The design of the 2010-built unit was inspired by the Remora fish – one
of the world’s most fascinating creatures that employs suction to attach
itself to larger creatures such as sharks and whales. Teekay’s new
HiLoad DP is no different – it connects to any type of tanker keeping
them in a safe distance from the production unit.
