The two-year research and development program is co-funded by the Research Council of Norway and supported by Marine Cybernetics and Ship Manoeuvring Simulator Centre A\/S.<\/p>\n
The Teekay FlexShuttle<\/i> will meet the transportation challenges that arise from the development of more marginal fields as North Sea oil production is declining. The concept will include a stern loading solution allowing for offshore export operations to be performed directly from the production facility.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis cooperation will further strengthen our position as industry leader and forerunner in research and development\u201d, commented Stein Rynning, Senior Vice President at Teekay Shipping Norway AS. \u201cThe Teekay FlexShuttle<\/i> will offer a cost effective export solution with improved dynamic positioning performance that further reduces the impact of our vessels on the environment, as the loading operation requires less power and the vessel will be gas powered.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stein Fines, Vice President Technology and Development at DNV, says. \u201cThis project is bringing together four companies working in different arenas within the Norwegian oil & gas and maritime industry. We are convinced that the outcome of the work will contribute to making it economically viable to develop the more marginal fields on the Norwegian continental shelf, and also contribute to strengthening the Norwegian offshore industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
