World Leader in Classed FPUs
We have a strong presence worldwide with the following types of floating production units.
Converted and Newbuild FPSOs
ABS classed the first FPSO in U.S. waters in 1978 and continues to develop proprietary tools for the site-specific evaluation of dynamic load components, hull strength and fatigue assessments.
Spars
ABS has been involved with classing three generations of spar design improvements, from classic or deep-draft caisson to truss spars and cell spars.
Pipelines and Risers
ABS verifies that pipelines, risers and umbilicals supporting FPIs are designed, fabricated and installed according to approved designs and sound industry practice.
Tension-Leg Platform (TLP)
ABS has been involved with tension-leg platform (TLP) technology from the outset and has been instrumental in developing appropriate class standards. ABS has classed the full range of TLP designs.
Semisubmersibles
ABS has decades of experience classing purpose-built and converted production semisubmersible platforms for deployment in deepwater fields.
