FPSO is an abbreviation for Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel.
FPSOs, are offshore oil and gas production facilities that house both processing equipment and storage.
Most FPSOs comprise a ship-shaped vessel, with processing equipment on board the vessel's deck and storage below in the double hull.
After processing, an FPSO stores oil or gas before offloading periodically to shuttle tankers or transmitting processed petroleum via pipelines.
Some FPSOs are converted tankers.
Others are purpose-built.
