Deltamarin Ltd. entered into a contract with Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. for the conversion of Teekay’s Navion Norvegia to the Libra floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO), for operations in the Libra field, offshore Brazil.

The Libra FPSO is scheduled for completion in 3Q 2016 and will be operated by OOGTK Libra GmbH & Co KG,a 50:50 joint venture between Odebrecht Oil & Gas and Teekay ƶijϻ.
Operations for the Libra FPSO are planned for 4Q 2016. Production capacity will be 50,000bbl/d and 4MMcm/d of gas injection.
