... FPSO had to be transported by the largest heavy transport vessel in the world, BOKA Vanguard. Topsides mating onto the Spar hull was carried out by Boskalis in a Norwegian fjord by a dual barge float-over operation. The Topsides was first transferred from HTV White Marlin to two S-class vessels...

Many of these firsts heavily influenced the planning...

... Company requirements. Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) was awarded an EPC Contract (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) for the Topside of Spar Platform, and HHI and TechnipFMC formed a Consortium responsible for the overall delivery of the Spar Hull. TechnipFMC was responsible for the design...

... Abstract Historically, Spar hulls have been compartmented using both flats and radial bulkheads. These hulls were fabricated into quarter or half sections and joined into full cylinder sections then into the full hull length while in a horizontal orientation. This approach left considerable...

... Abstract Williams Field Services (WFS) use of the classic Spar hull form for the deepwater field development projects is the first classic Spar hull since ExxonMobil installed the Diana/Hoover Spar in 2000. Since that time, 14 Truss Spars and one Cell Spar have been installed. Learnings from...

... design targets due to hull surge motions. In addition, the strength of Tahiti s large diameter export risers was marginal due to semi heave motions during hurricanes. Based on the alternative analysis described above, the truss spar hull form and SCR riser type were selected. While the quantitative...

.... Yard installation was not possible due to interference with the transportation arrangement. The major components of the belly strake system are as follows: Sleeves which are installed in the spar hull in the yard and serve as receptacles for the support pins, support pins which are swaged...

... installation methodology: The Spar hull is towed to the final location, upended, mooring hook up completed, and all ballasting (solid and variable) completed to achieve a freeboard of 4.3m (14 ft). The topside is loaded out onto a single transportation barge at the fabrication facility in Johor Bahru...

... full production within 15 days of start-up. This paper describes the design of the integrated spar hull and topside, with particular emphasis on the hull and related hull systems, due to their novelty. It provides a general description of the hull structure as well as the various hull and marine...
