About this Course

This four-day course builds a practical understanding of the classification requirements for floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSOs) and floating storage units (FSOs). Participants learn how ABS Rules, Guides, standards and regulations are applied across the design, conversion, installation and operation of F(P)SO projects to better evaluate technical requirements, reduce project risk and support sound classification decisions.

What you'll Learn

  • Identify applicable ABS classification requirements for FPSO projects.
  • Interpret Rules, Guides, standards and regulations for ABS-classed offshore facilities.
  • Assess load modeling, fatigue, scantling evaluation and total strength considerations.
  • Evaluate hazardous areas, risk assessment methods, fire, blast and egress issues.
  • Distinguish key process, marine and support system classification requirements.
  • Analyze mooring and environmental design factors affecting floating unit performance.
  • Apply lessons learned from conversions to design review and project planning.

Who should Attend

This course is for professionals involved in the design, review, delivery and operation of FPSO projects, including those who design or engineer offshore floating production or storage facilities, plan or manage FPSO projects and conversions, oversee installation, operations or technical compliance, or support owners, operators, shipyards and engineering teams working with ABS-classed assets.
