Seatrium has awarded the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) a Classification contract for Petrobras’ newbuild floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSO) platforms P-84 and P-85, with the final delivery expected to 2029.
These are the first FPSOs to be awarded following ABS and Seatrium’s Technology Collaboration Agreement (TCA), that aims to promote increased decarbonization, digitalization and innovation in the offshore industry.
Both FPSOs will incorporate technologies that aim to enhance operational efficiency and reduce the environmental impact. Features will include zero routine flaring and venting, variable speed drives and measures to control emissions and capture CO2, including an all-electric concept, which focuses on efficient power generation and increased energy efficiency to achieve a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity compared to a design which does not include such technologies.
Seatrium and ABS will work together to propel digital collaboration across the offshore, marine, and energy sectors. This partnership is geared towards elevating lifecycle services for ongoing, completed, and upcoming projects by harnessing state-of-the-art technology.
Through methodological enhancements and a data-centric post-construction approach, the collaboration will promote a shift towards a Condition-based Class methodology for floating production assets.
This evolution empowers asset owners with data-driven insights, enabling targeted surveys on critical areas to boost operational uptime and streamline maintenance practices.
In addition, the partnership will see Seatrium and ABS pioneer innovative approaches to drive digital transformation and operational excellence. Among the ongoing joint efforts include performing joint trials and qualifying 5G-based remote inspection solutions for EPC and Repairs & Upgrades projects in Seatrium’s yards globally to transform operational processes and enhance efficiency.
