The FPSO is located in 330m water depth. The turret system is designed to accommodate 25 flexible risers in a radial pattern around the turret chain table.  The ten-path swivel stack includes fluid paths for production, oil import and export, gas lift, and water injection. Multi-line swivels provide hydraulic and pneumatic controls. The turret uses an eight leg symmetric catenary wire/chain mooring system.
