Construction of the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) platform for Suriname’s GranMorgu project has reached 27%, state oil company Staatsolie revealed in its recent annual report. The production vessel is expected to deliver first oil in 2028.
GranMorgu marks Suriname’s first offshore oil development, with reserves estimated at 750 million barrels. The FPSO is designed to produce up to 220,000 barrels of oil per day from about 30 wells.
SBM Offshore’s Fast4Ward hull, Multipurpose Floater C (MPF C), will serve as the base of the FPSO. The hull was reserved in June 2023 and delivered in February 2025.
It was fabricated by China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI). BOMESC Offshore Engineering Company Limited and STS VOF will build the topside modules. COSCO Shipping Heavy Industries will also support the topside construction.
