American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has issued an approval in principle to SBM Offshore for its concept of a near zero floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit.
The NearZero FPSO design incorporates low carbon technologies that collectively create a ‘near zero’ Scope 3 carbon emissions profile, achieving up to 80% reduction in GHG emissions.
The introduction of the NearZero FPSO is an important step in SBM’s strategic path to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. ABS completed design reviews based on class and statutory requirements.
Low carbon technologies featured in the FPSO concept at a systems level include all electric topsides, closed flare, carbon capture and seawater intake riser/deep intake sea hose – technologies that SBM says not only reduce carbon emissions but also power demands.
“We are proud to continue to support SBM Offshore and their comprehensive strategy to address carbon emissions. The NearZero FPSO concept integrates low carbon technologies with a high degree of technical readiness and can be implemented on FPSO projects today,” said Miguel Hernandez, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Offshore.
“The introduction of SBM Offshore’s NearZero FPSO design marks an
