法国BV船级社在为客户减少海工项目建造时间和成本方面做了创新性解决方案，在最近几艘FPSO的基本设计和创新性浮式电厂设计就得到了很好的应用。
BV的审图工作从基本设计阶段就开始了，基本设计的认可包括了整个船体，以及甲板上模块支撑结构。BV按照规范，进行独立强度评估。该方法已成为创新项目的常规做法。
多年来，得益于对占世界一半数量的现有FPSO的技术支持，BV积累了各种海洋环境对FPSO的影响的宝贵经验。持续改进的VeriSTAR Hull（强度和疲劳分析）和HOMER（基于水动力-结构耦合强度和疲劳分析），为各方提供了强大的技术支持。
BV所入级的船舶带来了具备独立分析的附加价值和专业知识的共享。因此，许多客户都选择了加强与BV合作，为未来的新概念设计申请认可。
LEVERAGING ON FPSO EXPERTISE
Bureau Veritas is supporting many clients with innovative solutions to cut the build time and cost of offshore projects. Approval in Principle and Basic Design Review for several FPSO and innovative Floating Power Plant designs have been recently performed.
The designs are reviewed within the scope of Basic Design Approval, in accordance with Bureau Veritas procedures. This Basic Design Approval covers the hull, as well as structures supporting both topsides and offshore systems. Bureau Veritas also performed its own independent strength assess ment, checking compliance with BV Rules criteria.The approach has become common practice for innovative projects.
Over the years, Bureau Veritas has built up valuable experience in FPSO behavior in all types of sea environment,thanks to its provision of technical assistance to around half the world’s existing FPSOs. Stateofthe-art tools like VeriSTAR Hull (Rule strength and Fatigue analysis) and HOMER (first principles hydro-elasticity coupling Strength and Fatigue analysis) are continuously maintained and improved to support both second and third party activities.
In Classification, Bureau Veritas brings added value with independent analysis and shared expertise. As a result,many clients have chosen to strengthen their co-operation with Bureau Veritas,in systematically requesting Approvals in Principle for future novel concepts.
