Bumi Armada resolves unplanned shutdown of Armada Kraken FPSO

KUALA LUMPUR: Bumi Armada Bhd's unplanned shutdown of the Armada Kraken floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) which is mobilised in the UK North Sea has been restored following work done.

"An additional HSP transformer has been reconditioned from the failed HSP transformer units. Following the successful installation of this second reconditioned HSP transformer on the Armada Kraken FPSO, the vessel's operational performance has now been restored to pre-shutdown levels," the offshore energy facilities and services provider said in a Bursa filing.

With the current three working HSP transformers, redundancy is expected to be restored when a fourth new HSP transformer, which is estimated to arrive in September, is successfully installed on the Armada Kraken FPSO, it added.
