SBM Offshore has ordered a second FPSO hull at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard (SWS) in China.

The 100,000-barrel-per-day unit will be delivered in 2021, brokers said, without giving a price.

The deal coincided with the keel-laying ceremony for its first Fast4Ward FPSO hull, Oil World reported.

It has no contract lined up for the second ship yet, but is optimistic about the industry.
