Vessel Type Owner Builder Terra Nova FPSO FPSO Terra Nova Alliance/Petro Canada Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. T erra Nova FPSO was completed by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., and delivered to the Bull Arm Fabrication Site for the work to install the topsides production module. The vessel is designed to work on the Terra Nova Field. The Canadian-flagged vessel is registered by LR. The ship shape is designed to provide optimum seakeep- ing performance with internal turret mooring system with the assistance of thrusters. The analysis for the assess- ment of seakeeping performance such as vessel motion and mooring has been performed in consultation with the owner, was verified through model tests. Designed to withstand the harsh environments with extreme 100-year wave height in excess of 98 ft. (30 m), the vessel has also been strengthened for an ice impact of 100,000 tons. Terra Nova FPSO has a forward deck- house accommodating up to 80 peo- ple, aft offloading systems with a max- imum offloading rate of 8,000 cu. m./hr. and topside process plant on the deck with a maximum production rate of 20,000 cu. m./day. Two sets of gas turbine generators — 46 MW each using dual fuel for main electrical power — are situated on the process deck, and two sets of key service diesel generators (6.5 MW each) are installed in the forward machinery space. The system is designed to hold the vessel on station and to propel the ship in transit condition with the elec- trical power. The system is comprised of 5 azimuth thrusters, 5 MW each, electric motors and drive systems.
