According to the past experience the conversion FPSO is advantaged on the delivery and cost but the demand for new-build FPSO hulls is increasing due to the operational and maintenance cost savings. And the trend that FPSO requires heavier and heavier topside module also supports the new building FPSO. With the experience of new building FPSOs we believe the new building FPSO can be competitive towards the conversion FPSO.

KEY WORDS: FPSO; new building; competitiveness
