The FSO Ta’Kuntah is a MODEC converted 357,000 dwt ULCC tanker with a SOFEC external turret mooring system, flexible risers connecting to the single point mooring cargo piping to the PLEM on the seabed, and an offloading system which allows the FSO Ta’Kuntah to offload tandem, side-by-side, and even simultaneously.
Since operations began in 1998, the FSO Ta’Kuntah has offloaded more than 500 million barrels of oil in the first six years of operations without any instance of oil pollution and "zero" downtime.
FSO Ta’Kuntah is located in a hurricane prone area.
