Hi Littlefish. Some where on this board are pictures (2009) of the previous BSLs when they first arrived @DeepDown. They were unpainted also, then dpdw worked on them, added a number of attachments, sent them out to be painted, had a number of inspections by other Cos. personel ,taking of photos,attaching anti-
corrosion metals, then they were sent to the shipyard in Singapore where they were attached to the FPSO.
Still holding, long and strong.
Check my weekly reports for the pictures, all the reports are linked to each other. I am guessing the stainless steel BSLs will be seen in one.
