FPSOs

The long term prospects for the floating production sector are promising. In order to meet the world’s energy demands, the industry will have to move into deeper waters and harsher environments, where FPSOs continue to be the best answer.

FPSOs come in different shapes and sizes, but whether we are talking about converted tankers, or purpose-built ship and cylindrical shaped vessels, there is relatively little space on board. These circumstances naturally call for highly optimised topside designs, which is one of our key areas of expertise.

Built upon our vast experience designing topside for traditional rigs in harsh environments, we have further developed our topside designs to also fit the dynamic movements and confined space of an FPSO. And we have accomplished this without compromising operability, safety or cost. Simply put, we offer durable solutions that meet the highest HSE standards and ensure our clients a high return on investment. 

 
 
 

Pre-engineering and detailed design

The Nexus FPSO is a large, generic ship-shaped FPSO with harsh environment capability designed to operate in hurricane and typhoon prone waters as well as, for example, the North Sea where the weather conditions are generally volatile. The Nexus was a grand scale international project, which was completed on time and within budget.

Cylinder-shaped topsides design

For Kanfa/Sevan Marine’s innovative cylinder-shaped platforms, which due to their geostationary properties are both wave and windproof, Ramboll was able to design a topsides able to nestle neatly within its curvaceous confines, also on time and within budget.
