In 1988–1990 her name was Fina Europe, in 1990–1993 Sanco Europe, and in 1993–1997 MT Europe. [6]
The first semi-submersible floating production platform was the Argyll FPF converted from the Transworld 58 drilling semi-submersible in 1975 for the Hamilton Brothers North Sea Argyll oil field. As the oil industry progressed into deeper water and harsh environments, purpose-built production semi-submersible platforms were designed.
The Glen Lyon is a 100,000 tonne 880 ft long floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO). The ship was built in South Korea and is anchored to the seabed at the Schiehallion and Loyal oil fields in the North Sea in waters 1,300ft deep. [1][2] It is said by BP to be the largest "harsh water" FPSO ship in the world. [1][3]
