scope:
This Guide provides classification requirements associated with FPI life extension. It is to be used in conjunction with and as a supplement to 1-1-2/5.11.5 of ABS Rules for Building and Classing Floating Production Installations (FPI Rules).
This Guide focuses on the requirements for structures and stationkeeping systems during the life extension process. Requirements for marine system and the associated equipment, machinery, safety systems, and production facilities as applicable, are the same as required during the service life and are to be fully in compliance with the FPI Rules.
Life extension of import/export systems is not within the scope of this Guide. Technical guidance on life extension for subsea production risers attached to FPIs can be found in ABS Guidance Notes on Production Riser Life Extension.
