– Several DP reference systems<br />
– Early warn<strong>in</strong>g systems - manual takeover<br />
– At least two DP operators at all times<br />

Safe <strong>Design</strong> - Summary<br />
•Good segregation between HC areas and safe areas<br />
•LQ, evacuation means and HVAC <strong>in</strong>take upw<strong>in</strong>d<br />
•Escape tunnel along the whole ship<br />
•Process area segregated from cargo deck by plated<br />
H-0 deck<br />
•No high pressure HC equipment on cargo deck
Safe <strong>Design</strong> - Summary (contd.)<br />
•Water ballast tanks around the cargo tanks, double<br />
barrier (double hull)<br />
•Open layout <strong>in</strong> modules; reduced explosion risk<br />
•<strong>Design</strong> the aft for shuttle tanker collision<br />
•Include measures for collision avoidance<br />
•Large helideck
Safe <strong>Design</strong> – Summary<br />
(contd.)<br />
•Ship movements must be considered for all material<br />
handl<strong>in</strong>g and storage<br />
•Dropped/ sw<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g load barriers<br />
•Lift<strong>in</strong>g above pressurized equipment prohibited<br />
•One must expect green sea <strong>in</strong> bad weather condition;<br />
Personnel should not be present at cargo deck <strong>in</strong><br />
such conditions
FPSO - Experience<br />
transfer<br />
• Workgroup between the FPSO<br />
operators <strong>in</strong> Norwegian and UK:<br />
– Improve FPSO operation and design for<br />
future projects<br />
– Web-site: http://fpso.olf.no/lesson<br />
• OGP: “Guidel<strong>in</strong>e for Manag<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Mar<strong>in</strong>e <strong>Risk</strong>s Associated with<br />
FPSOs”
Conclusions<br />
• Assess risk and safety<br />
– Early<br />
– In all phases<br />
• Gather experience<br />
• Identify all hazards<br />
• Def<strong>in</strong>e safety strategies and<br />
standards<br />
• Follow up with control and<br />
documentation
Conclusions<br />
• <strong>The</strong>re are challenges with<br />
FPSOs, but if properly<br />
designed and operated,<br />
a FPSO is a very safe<br />
concept!
