The floating storage unit (FSU) Heidrun B left the Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea in March 2015, heading for Norway.

The FSU was ordered by oil main Statoil in 2012 for US $230 million.

The storage vessel is designed to be completely moored on the Heidrun area within the Norwegian Sea – thought of to have a few of the world’s worst climate circumstances – for 30 years. The 250-meter lengthy and 46-meter broad storage vessel has a capability of 850,000 barrels of oil.

The new storage unit will exchange the present buoy loading system on the area. The new FSU will likely be completely linked to a buoy and the oil will likely be lifted from the FSU by use of shuttle tankers.

Statoil expects to take care of manufacturing on the Heidrun area till not less than 2045.
