The Terra Nova Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) is the first such vessel specifically designed for ice infested harsh environments. The development of this unique vessel will be described by presenting the major aspects of the vessel from the initial design by Brown & Root Energy Services (BRES), construction of the vessel by Daewoo Heavy Industries (DHI) in South Korea, through to delivery to Newfoundland Canada. The unique design considerations such as the harsh environment of the Canadian Grand Banks region and the requirement to dis-connect during ice flow/iceberg activity required a completely new vessel design. This paper describes these challenges and the eventual solutions by touching on analyses and the extensive model test program conducted. The vessel construction and delivery phases are also discussed together with shipyard interface and management issues.
