Project Description

CONCEPT DESIGN OF OFFSHORE ANGOLA NEW-BUILD FPSO

For a UK-based client, HEC developed the concept design of a new-build VLCC-sized FPSO hull. HEC developed a hull form with good towing characteristics that was economical to build. Design work included preparation of double hull and single-bottom/double-side structural options, plus concept-level design of the typical FPSO appurtenances, including fairlead supports, topside module supports, and flare-tower foundations.
