Floating Storage & Offloading - FSO
To further diversify the range of its commercial activities, in 2011, PB Tankers entered the offshore business by obtaining a contract to transform an Aframax-type tanker into FSO.
The contract required unmooring of the previous FSO, the purchase and conversion of an Aframax Tanker into an FSO according to Client’s specifications and the mooring of the newly converted FSO on the Campo Rospo Mare oil field in the Adriatic Sea.
The FSO was delivered in September 2012 after being renamed Alba Marina and sold to Edison.
Since then, it has been fully managed by PB Tankers.
Liquefied Natural Gas - LNG
PB Tankers is currently specializing in the transport of LNG and offers all types of logistical support services related to liquefied gas.
