Report of Foreign Private Issuer Pursuant to Rule 13a-16 or 15d-16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Bluewater has announced the following:

Haewene Brim

In late 2003, Enterprise Oil Limited awarded Pierce Production Company Limited (PPC) the contract to add water injection facilities onboard Bluewater owned and operated Hæwene Brim FPSO. Pierce Production Company Limited forms part of the Bluewater Group of companies. The water injection project was executed by PPC in close cooperation with Bluewater Energy Services B.V.

Hæwene Brim resumed crude oil production within 3 weeks after leaving drydock and second oil and gas was achieved shortly thereafter. Full water injection was achieved on December 13, 2004.

Water injection facilities were added to the FPSO in order to further develop the Pierce field located in the central North Sea, 280 km east of Aberdeen. The new facilities will inject up to 95,000 barrels per day of seawater into the field reservoir to increase pressure and enhance production levels.

Munin

Bluewater's floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel Munin has achieved first oil on the Xijiang field owned by ConocoPhillips China Inc., CNOOC China Limited Shenzhen, and several subsidiaries of Shell Oil Company. The field is located in the South China Sea approximately 130 km offshore Hong Kong. The Munin, at 103,000 dwt and 600,000 bbls is only the second floating production facility in the world to produce in full dynamic positioning (DP) mode without the use of mooring lines, and it is the largest FPSO in the world to have done so. The Munin has also performed several successful tandem offloading operations to conventional tankers since its arrival on Xijiang.

Prior to its assignment on Xijiang, the Munin was producing oil from China's Lufeng field, operated by Statoil Orient Inc. in partnership with CNOOC. Munin left the Lufeng field under its own propulsion power to undergo modifications and maintenance in Singapore arriving at Sembawang shipyard in early August.

Bluewater's scope of supply included:

•: Installation of an outrigger with turntable and swivel for hook up to the risers, including an emergency quick disconnection facility
•: Installation of the innovative Vessel Internal Electrostatic Coalescer (VIEC) (developed by ABB Offshore) designed to increase oil production capacity from 60,000 to 70,000 bbls/day
•: Installation of additional dynamic positioning (DP) equipment and upgraded DP software
•: Hull maintenance and life time extension

After modifications were completed the Munin sailed to the Xijiang field for hookup to the field's existing fluid transfer equipment. The Munin will produce on the Xijiang field while the Nan Hai Kai Tuo FPSO undergoes scheduled dry-docking and maintenance services. The Munin is scheduled to return to the Lufeng Field early in the 2nd quarter of 2005 for a minimum fixed contract period of three years.

Bluewater specializes in lease and operation of tanker-based Production and Storage systems, and has become a leading provider of Single Point Mooring systems. Bluewater operates worldwide with offices in The Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, Nigeria, Angola, South Africa, Singapore and China.
