"Berge Helene"
The conversion of the 275,000 dwt tanker Berge Helene was completed 2003 at Jurong shipyard in Singapore.
Berge Helene is a generic FPSO with a production capacity of 60,000 barrels of liquids per day (bpd) and a
storage capacity of two million barrels of crude oil. The vessel is designed for extended at-sea service and to
support incremental, on-location expansion of up to 240,000 bpd.
