Oslo-based TMC Compressors (TMC) said it has been awarded a contract to supply a large capacity marine compressed air system to MODEC’s Errea Wittu floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.
MODEC is building the floater for an ExxonMobil-operated development in Guyana’s Stabroek Block.
TMC said it will provide a large-capacity marine compressed air system including compressors for control and service air on board the FPSO. TMC will manufacture and assemble the equipment in Europe.
“Our compressors have been developed solely for marine and offshore use,” said Hans Petter Tanum, TMC’s director of sales and business development. “They are not land-based compressors that have been marinized. We believe this enables the most robust and reliable equipment, which is essential when you are operating it on an FSPO offshore.”

Offshore Frontier Solutions Pte. Ltd., a MODEC Group company, is responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the FPSO based on MODEC’s M350TM newbuild hull.
The FPSO will have a topside designed to produce approximately 250,000 barrels of oil per day and will have associated gas treatment capacity of 540 million cubic feet per day, water injection capacity of 350,000 barrels per day and produced water capacity of 300,000 barrels per day.
Errea Wittu is due to be delivered for first oil in 2026.
