Petrojarl Knarr is one of Teekay’s largest FPSO projects to date. In 2011, Teekay Corporation announced an agreement to provide BG Norge Limited with a FPSO unit for the Knarr field. The vessel will make its way to the North Sea field in the third quarter of 2014 and is expected to commence its 10-year charter by the end of the fourth quarter of 2014.
