We performed non-destructive tests for the Terra Nova FPSO vessel repaired by Navantia.

The Spanish public company dedicated to civil and military shipbuilding, Navantia, has entrusted OCA Global with the non-destructive testing (NDT) work related to the repair and modernization of the Canadian-flagged vessel "Terra Nova FPSO".

This vessel, in service since 2002, of 110,720 gross tons and 120,000 deadweight tons, has a hull of 292.20 m overall length, 45.50 m beam and 27.94 m depth. In addition, it has a storage capacity of 153,000 m3 and a daily processing capacity of 24,000 m3 of oil and 150×106 m3 of natural gas. This repair and modernization process has been carried out at the Navantia Fene shipyard, where various equipment will be modernized, including the bow swivel and a drydocking for plate replacement and general painting.

OCA Global has been involved in carrying out inspections using different non-destructive testing techniques, such as ultrasonic, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, visual inspection and eddy current. A total of thirteen technicians from our company have been in charge of carrying out this work.

For OCA Global, this project allows us to continue with our expansion strategy, providing service to sectors as different as Petrochemical, Naval, Nuclear, Construction, among others.
