Workshop Objective
Engage the Industry in recognising the different
risk profile associated with FPS
Risk
1950 2000
FPS Incremental Risk
Design (1)
Risk reduction by improved design
Short term:-
Avoid obvious design risks through sound specs.
eg Green water
Fatigue
Bow slam
Fail-close ballast valves
Longer term:-
Wave climate prediction and coincident environment.
Scaling for deepwater model tests.
Coupled hull, riser & moorings behaviour.
FPS Incremental Risk
Design (2)
Design procedures are being introduced
API RP 2FPS, 2SK, 2SM
ISO 19904 first draft on ISO TC 67/SC7 website
Inspection techniques for moorings and risers are limited in capability and hull may
have access constraints.
Ballast control
Heading control
Impact from offtake tanker
Overpressuring cargo or ballast tank
Decision complexity when responding to incident

FPS Risk
Action Required (1)
Recognise that risk associated with an FPS differs from a
fixed steel platform.
