Notice to Harvesters – Terra Nova FPSO Moving to Oil Field
July 26, 2023

Suncor has engaged FFAW to notify harvesters in 3L that the Terra Nova FPSO will be departing the Bull Arm Fabrication Site and transiting to the Terra Nova Oil Field as early as August 3rd but with potential for delays. A Fisheries Guide Vessel will be deployed to identify any areas in use by fishing vessels or gear and to mitigate safety concerns between the fishing and oil and gas industries. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Katie Power at 709-576-7276.
