Client: Teekay Shipping (Australia)

Application: Dampier Spirit FSO

Year: 2018

Teekay Shipping (Australia) recently purchased TENSA DMS Mini motion monitoring system for use on the FSO Dampier Spirit located approximately 40 km off the coast from Karratha.

Teekay, the operator of Dampier Spirit will use the DMS for general motion monitoring and as a backup for their Helideck Motion System (HMS). Having TENSA’s DMS Mini allows Teekay to continue to maintain safe helicopter operations to the facility without any interruption. Teekay initially rented the DMS but were so impressed with the ease of use and functionality  that within a few days they decided to buy the unit.
