An asymmetric monohull vessel design for floating production is provided. The asymmetric monohull vessel features a submerged bulge or sponson on one side of the hull, such that the bulge or the sponson is configured to provide additional buoyancy to the floating vessel to counterbalance transversely imbalanced loads on the one side. Such transversely imbalanced loads may include riser loads and structural and facility loads offsetting to the one side of the hull. The bulge or the sponson is also configured to act as an effective roll motion reduction appendage to optimise the roll motion performance of the floating vessel.
