FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading), or simply FSO (Floating Storage and Offloading) represent the latest frontier in offshore drilling. They are, simply speaking, big ships firmly moored over a well-head in open sea in order to collect and store the oil which in turn is then transferred to a smaller vessel which then acts as a shuttle between the well and the storage port or nearest refinery.
The difference between the systems is that the FPSO is also directly connected with the oil drilling while the FSO is only concerned with storage.
The most advanced technology for deep sea oil extraction opens the way for oil companies to venture further into ever more extreme conditions in the search for oil. However, to guarantee a maximum level of safety of the plants it also necessary that the support systems are equal to the situation. For this, specialist in floating and signalling systems is the preferred choice by the world’s oil companies. The reliability of products is well-known and is supported by the thousands of installations we have been part of. From deep water floats to support buoys, from the giants for the mooring of oil tankers in open sea to plant signalling: the range is vast and is requested from all latitudes.
