“ Once FPSO Maria Quitéria commences operations in Brazil later this year , it will become one of the first FPSOs in the world to operate with a combined cycle power plant . This type of plant is the largest contributor to emissions reduction , even with today ’ s technology , resulting in approximately a 20 percent decrease in emissions compared to conventional power generation designs . Internally , Yinson has set its own sustainability targets , which are focused on driving down the overall carbon intensity of its entire fleet . Consequently , when considering new projects to undertake , we carefully evaluate the carbon emissions impact and decline any proposals that do not contribute to reducing our fleet ’ s average emissions ,” he continues .
Moving forward , Jahn elaborates on Yinson ’ s approach to supply chain relationships . “ Undoubtedly , our suppliers are extremely important to us , especially considering the fact that there are not many in our industry . In some cases , only two or three subcontractors exclusively provide a certain piece of equipment . Therefore , it is vital for us to work closely with them for every project we undertake and maintain a healthy and mutually beneficial relationship . When it comes to our contract model , we solely partner with subcontractors who demonstrate reliability and a proven track record of timely delivery . Overall , we tend to prefer working with some of the same suppliers and subcontractors , although we strive to spread out the workload to give everyone opportunities to collaborate with us every now and then ,” he explains .
