Woodside Energy Ltd notified NOPSEMA on 19 October 2022 of statutory deficiencies identified during a disconnection exercise of the FPSO Ngujima Yin (Vincent facility, Western Australia) conducted 10–14 October 2022. The exercise assessed the vessel's compliance with Navigation Act 2012 requirements for obtaining statutory certificates. Woodside identified several defects preventing certificate issuance, including failures in draft gauge (starboard midship), cargo control mimic panel remote valve indication, ballast tank remote ullage system, pump room gas detection, and foam system valves. NOPSEMA escalated the notification to level 1 investigation on 19 October, noting that Navigation Act statutory certificates form part of the facility's safety case and that the material state of the FPSO warranted investigation, though this falls outside NOPSEMA's direct regulatory function.
