Shiraz (ex- HMAS Westralia) leaves HMAS STIRLING
01 February 2007
The ship to be named Shiraz (ex- HMAS Westralia) leaves HMAS STIRLING for the last time, from Diamantina Pier.
The AGR Group, a Norway-based oil technology and services group and Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc., a Houston-based energy services company, have jointly acquired the vessel from the Australian Commonwealth Government.
The former HMAS Westralia previously used by the Royal Australian Navy was acquired for the purpose of converting it into a Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO).
