AH001 - 15/21a Semisubmersible Floating Production Facility (FPF) seen here in the Port of Tyne for some TLC at McNulty's Yard, South Shields (North East England). Photographed 9th December 2009 from the inbound DFDS Ferry, King of Scandinavia.

She has been in the Tyne since July 2009.

Originally built as the Sedco Phillips SS drilling rig, it is now owned by Amerada Hess and had been part of the R Block Development, North Sea Central, United Kingdom.

The AH001 has the processing capacity for 60,000 barrels of oil/day and 58.5 million ft³/day of gas. It can inject 92,000 barrels of water a day and has the capability of converting 60t of seawater into drinking water. It is secured by a 12-point mooring system.

Evidently it was toss up as to whether she was scrapped or upgraded, good to the Tyne that the latter was the result

Hi Billy

Just been reading that she's been renamed as FPF1 - evidently her owners Petrofac don't have any concrete plans for her future!

Was this one in McNulty's during the late 1980's?
