Overview
The FPSO Operational Safety project has been running since 1996, with the following main phases:
1996-97: Pre project, definition phase
1997-98: MP3: Riser damage due to inadequate turret operations
1999-2000: MP1: Collision with shuttle tanker
2000-2002: Extended analysis of shuttle tanker collision risk
This is a research project, which over the years have been supported by Esso/ExxonMobil, Health and Safety Executive, Statoil, Navion and Norsk Hydro.

The research project on FPSO Operational Safety is about to finish its last phase, in which a detailed study of the risk for collision by shuttle tankers has been analyzed. The project is carried out jointly by NTNU and SINTEF, with the former as project responsible.
