The FPSO is equipped with an Appleton Offshore Crane, type SB480-115, SWL 10.0T – 35M and required a Braden winch changeout.

The crane is equipped with a Paccar main hoist winch, make Braden Gearmatic, type CH210A and an auxiliary hoist winch x man-riding winch, Braden type PD12C.

Booth winches had reached the end of their service life and were scheduled for replacement.
