These Guidance Notes supplement the requirements for life extension and relocation of floating production installations in accordance with the ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations (FPI Rules). These Guidance Notes outline the life extension process that includes a reassessment of the structure, mooring system, stability, and machinery and systems, etc., for the entire installation. This reassessment includes engineering and survey activities. In the May 2021 edition, a new Appendix 3 introduces a methodology for addressing Remaining Fatigue Life for FPSOs based on Loading Historical Data acquired on board during the vessel’s Service Life. These Guidance Notes become effective on the first day of the month of publication.
