This Will Eventually Be SBM Offshore’s Third Order for Fast4Ward Series Units, Based on Increased Confidence in the Market

SBM Offshore, the world’s largest FPSO supplier, is ready to expand its fleet as it plans to order another Fast4Ward FPSO hull soon. The Fast4Ward is the company’s program aimed at standardizing the construction and delivery process of the FPSO, thereby reducing costs and speeding up the market timeline by up to 12 months.

The company has already ordered two units from China’s SWS shipyard. The first hull was ordered in 2017 and the second in November 2018, both speculatively and without a firm contract at the time of order, signaling positive industry outlook. The first unit is expected to be deployed in Exxon’s Liza 2 project in Guyana, subject to Exxon’s final investment decision.

Hibernation Period in Brazil

SBM Offshore said in November 2018 that, although Brazil is its primary market, with several opportunities being actively pursued, the waiting time for construction activity opportunities, combined with uncertainty regarding the evolution of local content regulations, led to the decision to keep Brasa inactive for at least two years.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Researchers use artificial rays to transform natural gas into methanol and create cleaner fuel; the technology reduces emissions, utilizes wasted methane, and advances global sustainable energy solutions.

In Europe, sustainable urban mobility is gaining momentum with an ambitious plan to reduce carbon emissions from transportation by up to 90% by 2040.
