Additional info :
KUITO -FPSO which is stationed offshore in Cabinda, Angola, Africa. She is permanently moored with
12 anchors down. She was completed in 1979 as the TT BAY RIDGE at Seatrain Shipyard Brooklyn in New
York , and she was the 4th of the class, the other three were named TT BROOKLYN , TT STUYVESANT &
TT WILLIAMSBURG. I believe she was laid up after completion .She became the PROSTOR II and was used
in the Rang Dong oilfield in Viet Nam for storage before being acquired by SBM who had her converted in
Sembawang Shipyard in Singapore in 1999.
