DNV GL & Bluewater Pilot Test Hybrid Digital Twin for FPSOs

Classification society DNV GL and FPSO specialist Bluewater have teamed up on a pilot project to use hybrid digital twin technology to predict and analyse fatigue on an FPSO hull.
The project would quantify the benefits of creating a virtual replica of the FPSO to optimize the structural safety of the vessel and enhance risk-based inspection (RBI).
The technology enables the monitoring of the asset’s hull structure during operation without dependence on costly routine inspection regimes.
