Ambipar, a Brazil-headquartered environmental solutions provider, and SBM Offshore, a Dutch provider of the design, construction, installation, and operation of offshore floating facilities, have revealed a new solution for cleaning cargo oil tanks on floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units.
The duo’s joint initiative will implement technology to employ remotely operated robots to undertake the tank cleaning process safely, which is anticipated to lead to a significant reduction in confined space risks and potential casualties.
