I find that I am not quite keeping up with Pic of the Day as I have been doing for the last few years, because I am engaged in the development of a new book about marine support to the offshore industry, and it is taking up quite a bit of my energy.; However, here is the FPSO P50 which was positioned out in a Brazilian field in 2006, when it was photographed. I searched the internet to find out what I could about it, but there was little. However I could see that it is a static mooring with five anchors from each bow and five from each side of the stern, making twenty moorings in all. The one bit of information  related to an incident that occurred in September this year, Petrobras reporting that "not to worry" it has 15 moorings left!
