Offshore marine services provider PACC Offshore Services Holdings (POSH) was awarded a contract by Technip Oceania through its subsidiary POSH Semco, to support Shell’s Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility using its semisubmersible accommodation vessel (SSAV) the POSH Arcadia.
The 750-passenger POSH Arcadia will be deployed to provide accommodation support for the hook-up and commissioning phase of the Shell Prelude FLNG Project in the Browse Basin, off the north-west coast of Western Australia.
This is POSH’s second contract for the Prelude FLNG Project. In January 2016, the POSH Terasea joint venture, comprising POSH and Terasea Pte. Ltd., was appointed to provide towage and positioning services for the facility.
The POSH Arcadia is POSH’s second state-of-the-art SSAV. The DP3 floatel is among the world’s largest SSAVs, designed to offer first-class safety and comfort for operations in deepwater and harsh environments.
