AFP, Lagos :
Fishing boats look like specks alongside Egina, which has been moored for the last month in Lagos. Even the container ships that normally dominate the port look like small boats.
The floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO), developed by the French group Total, looks a lot like a giant Lego set.
Everything about it is huge: its weight (220,000 tonnes), length (330 metres/1,083 feet) and width (60 metres). At 33 metres, it’s as high as a 10-storey building.
