“The delivery of the Unit to Teekay marks the successful completion of a demanding restructuring process, and the start of a new era for Sevan with focus on technology, engineering and project development within the FPSO segment, without ownership to and operation of operating assets. The production start at Huntington is also an important milestone and illustrates the flexibility for redeployment offered by the Sevan Technology,” said Carl Lieungh, CEO of Sevan Marine.
