HHI developed the FPSOs only up to the initial stage of FEED, including the basic dimensions such as the hull size and topside layout.

The company noted that it will reduce the required design period by leveraging its in-house engineering database after receiving the order.

Implementing engineering and design process will cut the production cost by approximately 30%.

In August, DNV GL secured a contract to install its hull maintenance system on Saipem’s vessels. The ShipManager Hull system will be integrated on five of the Saipem ships.
