FPSO’S are used by the offshore oil and gas industry for the production and processing of hydrocarbons, and for the storage of oil.
The risers from the seabed are connected to turret: a major component of the FPSO. AQUASIGN specialise in providing identification markings to label different types of subsea assets.
Type of Marker
As FPSO’s are floating structures, they will move with the currents and direction of the tides. Aquasign can supply markers for the identification of the FPSO itself, and the cardinal points to identify direction.
Typical Substrates
AQUASIGN markers can be attached to both coated and uncoated steel – we have various fixing methods which you can read about below and in our Knowledge Hub.
For installation on the surface, prior to deployment, AQUASIGN offer both adhesive and mechanical fixings to suit any application:
Adhesive: KISS* / Mechanical: Bolted
*Recommendations are made on the attaching surface, visit our Knowledge Hub for our Substrate Guide for further details.
Offshore or ‘retrofit’ solutions will be dependent on project location and installation method i.e.:
Diver: Magnet / Subsea Adhesive / ROV: Magnet*
*Magnet use is dependent on size/space available
Whichever environment you are working in, AQUASIGN can provide a solution that is suited to both external and internal factors such as lead times:
‘On time delivery is excellent. Timely delivery and proper documentation accompanies the goods. Good company with dedicated personnel.’ Buyer, Nigeria

Biofouling or ‘biological fouling’ is the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, or animals on wetted surfaces. The offshore oil and gas industry provides a multitude of different assets underwater for these organisms to grow on, but why do they become an issue? Additional weight load and drag. FPSO’s boat hulls can become covered in biofouling …

Subsea signage, subsea markings, underwater identification…name them what you wish, but when it comes to it, signage is as important to subsea safety as common road signs are to motorists. There can be numerous tree’s, manifolds and supporting hardware underneath one single oil platform: how can each template be identified? Keeping tags on equipment, what …
