Bluewater purchased the Hæwene Brim in 2001. Data Sheet Haewene Brim The Hæwene Brim was built in 1996 at Samsung ship yard, Korea, as a so-called Multi-purpose Shuttle Tanker (MST), meaning she could be employed in various modes as a Dynamically Positioned (DP) shuttle tanker and adapted to be converted to an FPSO or a deep-water drilling vessel. Haewene Brim as MST prior to conversion Haewene Brim after conversion as FPSO After delivery of the vessel in early 1997, she was employed as a trading (shuttle) tanker and as a Floating Storage and Offloading vessel during extended well-testing operations at the Connemara field off Ireland for Statoil. The Hæwene Brim was converted to an FPSO at Aker McNulty yard in Newcastle by her previous owners in late 1997-1998 and started operating at the Pierce field early in 1999. The Hæwene Brim under conversion to FPSO in Newcastle, 1998 To extend its field life, production was suspended in July 2004 to allow addition of a water injection topsides module inshore, again in Newcastle. In September 2004, these modifications were completed and the vessel returned to the field for offshore hook-up allowing production to resume in October 2004.
