New contracts Keppel yard Singapore

Including the conversion of the Arctic shuttle tanker TEMPERA into an FPSO. Earlier, some odd reports had surfaced suggesting that this ship was going for scrap. This seemed highly unlikely to me, as she is a very high spec ship of only 15 years old, not just some run-of-the-mill tankers. This latest news makes much more sense:

Tempera is probably a good candidate for an FPSO conversion. Diesel-electric power plant and large corrosion margin due to ice strengthening. She's also in good condition, having been owned by a Finnish oil company.

Tempera and Mastera are not Arctic shuttle tankers, though. Their ice class is only 1A Super.
