Local Content Opportunities

Simple fabrication and launch methodology increases local content opportunities.

Excellent Motions Performance

Unit performs well in harsh environments, with a motions performance similar to a deep SPAR unit.

Shallow Launch Draft

Increases local content opportunities and enables quayside topsides integration

Cost Competitive

Competitive CAPEX and OPEX when compared to long range umbilicals and conventional offshore units.

Topsides Integration Flexibility

Enables topsides integration at the quayside or via float over depending on the payload.

Applications

Floating Substations

BPT has developed a Floating Substation substructure design configured to support a substation payload, capable of operating in harsh environmental conditions. The solution opens the door to larger and deeper offshore wind developments and is the necessary component for transferring energy from deep-water floating wind developments back to shore.

Subsea Power & Control

The simple, normally unattended buoy can provide power, control & chemicals at the wellsite of a subsea tieback, eliminating the need for a long distance static umbilical for control of the subsea system.

Adopting this approach can reduce the development’s CAPEX, and minimise the tieback's impact on the host, extending the distance at which a tieback is technically and economically viable.

The Technology

BPT has developed and patented a novel offshore floating structure. The technology design enables it to be scalable for payloads from 5 to 5,000 tonnes and suitable for various environments and applications, including both offshore renewable and offshore hydrocarbon projects.

The simple hull construction, passive ballasting system, and small scale of BPT’s design ensure the structure is suitable for small-scale offshore applications, where low CAPEX and OPEX are key to ensure economic viability.
