... different fabrication yards. The truss and the soft tank were fabricated on land as one-piece in Technip's GMF yard in South Texas, loaded out and offloaded in sheltered waters next to the fabrication yard using a launch barge (Ref. 1, 2). The hard tank of the hull was built in Technip's TOF yard in Finland...
