美国船级社（ABS）已向韩华海洋颁发了原则性批准（AiP）证书，批准其用于西非近海深水部署的预 FEED 标准 FPSO 设计。

拟建船舶长340米，生产能力为19万桶/天，原油储存量约为238万桶/天。

船顶还可以容纳天然气生产设施。船体设计使用寿命长达 20 年，无需进行干船坞作业。

为了遵守更严格的环境法规，FPSO将采用零燃烧、温室气体监测和能源管理系统等措施。

所有设备都将实现电气化，以降低船舶整个生命周期的运营成本，并集成网络安全、数字孪生和预测性维护等数字解决方案。

韩华海洋工程公司的一位发言人表示，“我们预计海上工厂的需求将持续增长，特别是在西非和南美洲。”

ABS has awarded approval in principle (AiP) to Hanwha Ocean for its Pre-FEED Standard FPSO Design for deepwater deployments offshore West Africa.

The proposed vessel is 340 m long with a production capacity of 190,000 bbl/d and crude storage of about 2.38 MMbbl/d.

The topsides can also accommodate gas production facilities. The hull is designed to operate for up to 20 years without having to undergo dry docking.

To comply with stricter environmental regulations, the FPSO would incorporate measures such as zero-flaring, greenhouse-gas monitoring and an energy management system.

All the equipment would be electrified to lessen operating costs throughout the vessel’s lifespan, with integrated digital solutions such as cybersecurity, a digital twin and predictive maintenance.

A spokesman for Hanwha Ocean Engineering said, “We anticipate continued growth in demand for offshore plants, particularly in West Africa and South America.”
