The Fast4Ward hull, developed by SBM Offshore, is designed to enhance the performance and speed of delivering floating production solutions. Here are its main features: · 100% New-Build Hull: Designed for a 30-year lifespan. · Increased Deck Space: Offers 13% more deck space compared to Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) and a 30% larger topsides footprint. · Storage Capacity: Capable of storing up to 2.3 million barrels. · Standardization: Utilizes a standard hull and topsides catalogue to reduce cycle time to energy delivery and de-risk projects. · Digital Solutions: Incorporates digital technologies like Digital Twin and preventive maintenance for continuous advancements. · Multi-Purpose Floater (MPF): While it's not fully standardized due to varying field development needs, the MPF allows for standardized layouts, components, and equipment with the flexibility for bespoke features. These features aim to provide better economics for deep-water projects by reducing delivery times and costs while improving quality and safety.
