Depends who you ask?
Generally an “interface” issue (Discipline Project Management)
Hull (shipbuilding standards + FPSO-Specific Loadings)
Everything else (offshore standards)
But majority of the project assembled in a shipyard
Regulatory Issues Govern
Proposition: there exists a lack of agreement between shipyard tanker/FPSO specifications? YES/NO

Regulatory Requirements
Coastal State Authority and National Authority (National Administrations) requirements regarding applicable codes and standards (and dates/versions) govern and requires to be defined at the outset (e.g. SOLAS, MARPOL, Loadline, Tonnage). PMA?
If the vessel will disconnect and sail under own power then there may be two sets of requirements to be met (will require to be Flagged). The most onerous for individual systems will govern.
At present no clear universal Regulatory requirements for FPSOs established.

Tank entry requirements (in operations), PMA
Is MARPOL, SOLAS and LOADLINE applicable
NDT requirements based on code compliance at interface
Tolerances at interface

Gaps Tendency to “re-invent the wheel” (not learning
from previous projects)
80% of Problems due to 20% of Causes (Ref. 1), Project Management and Contracting are Key Elements
Harmonisation of Regulatory Requirements
Specification Definition (defining interfaces), FPSO/JTP Future Alignment
Interface Management (point 2 above)
Physical, Code, Contractual

Progress in Closing Gaps
Lloyd’s Register Group works closely with FPSO Lloyd’s Register Group works closely with FPSO clients to identify potential interface problems at clients to identify potential interface problems at an early stage in the project (e.g. FEED Review).an early stage in the project (e.g. FEED Review).
Continuous Rule development and internal R&D Continuous Rule development and internal R&D activities as well as participation in various JIPs activities as well as participation in various JIPs over a number of years (e.g. FPSO-Specific over a number of years (e.g. FPSO-Specific Loadings Project, + future planning of alignment Loadings Project, + future planning of alignment with JTP).with JTP).
Preparation of Guidance Notes expanding Rule Preparation of Guidance Notes expanding Rule requirements and identifying important requirements and identifying important considerations (e.g. LR Group Guidance Note considerations (e.g. LR Group Guidance Note “FPSO INSTALLATIONS – AN OVERVIEW OF “FPSO INSTALLATIONS – AN OVERVIEW OF REGULATORY ISSUES”, OS/GN/99001).REGULATORY ISSUES”, OS/GN/99001).

Way Forward
Industry Driven Harmonisation of Regulatory Requirements
Lessons Learnt Exchange Between FPSO Owners/Operators (FPSOForum is probably already effective in this area)
Alignment of Future JTP based Tanker Rules and FPSO Design Apprasial Processes (Increased Transparency in Loading Assessment)

Summary
FPSO’s - NOT JUST A TANKER WITH SOME EQUIPMENT ON DECK!
REGULATORY ISSUES GOVERN (NO CLEAR SET OF REGULATIONS APPLY)
MANAGEMENT OF VARIOUS INTERFACES VERY IMPORTANT
FPSO-SPECIFIC LOADINGS ALIGNMENT TO FUTURE JTP RULES?
