Abstract

The latest development of the submarine oil field and the deep-sea explorer, FPSO is commonly proposed and used for offshore oil production. And because the fundamental requirement of FPSOs to remain moored at their position, they are unable to avoid severe weather and environment. FPSO normally operates head to the weather, and sensitive equipment located the exposed area will be influenced by green water damages, the damages may occur to both onboard equipment and topside structures with resulting risk to personnel. In this paper, the main focus considers the physical structures of green water protector in order to preserve topside structures, equipment and personnel from green water.
