Morpeth SeaStar® TLP
The Morpeth SeaStar® TLP was the world’s first mini-TLP, and represented a new generation of TLP. It was developed through a strategic alliance with British-Borneo (now ENI) to develop small deepwater oil and gas fields. It was also the first TLP in the world to be classed and certified by ABS. SBM Atlantia’s scope of work was EPCi.
