Floating offshore assets represent some of the most complex systems in the energy sector, bringing together advanced marine engineering and sophisticated process plants within a single, integrated operation. From station-keeping and containment to regulatory compliance, every element is interconnected, so decisions made at the earliest design stages can influence safety, performance and risk exposure for decades.
LR Energies works alongside developers, operators and shipyards to help shape these decisions with confidence. Through our classification, certification and advisory services, we support the safe, efficient and resilient operation of floating assets across their entire lifecycle.
Our expertise covers major floating energy installations, including Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO), Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG), Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRU) and Floating Storage Units (FSU).

Regulatory Assessment
For newbuild and conversion projects, we provide independent verification through design, fabrication, installation and commissioning. Early review of hull, mooring and process integration reduces technical uncertainty before assets enter service, while structured oversight during execution confirms alignment with applicable rules and regulatory requirements.
During operations, technical appraisal supports asset strategy and performance optimisation. Inspection regimes, remote monitoring technologies and targeted integrity reviews maintain compliance while managing cost and exposure. Oversight focuses on hull condition, station-keeping systems, safety-critical equipment and process integration to sustain reliable operation over extended service lives.
As assets mature, integrity demands increase and commercial exposure becomes more pronounced. Decisions regarding life extension, redevelopment or retirement require clear understanding of structural condition, regulatory obligations and long-term liability. Independent assessment informs structured planning before significant commitments are made, ensuring late-life transitions are technically sound and aligned with compliance requirements.
Floating infrastructure projects require defined regulatory pathways and early clarity on configuration choices. LR Advisory provides technical and regulatory assessment to support decisions such as newbuild versus conversion, FSRU versus FSU configuration and key design parameters including mooring, capacity and gas management systems. Independent advice at critical stages reduces capital risk and strengthens engagement with approval authorities.
