Oil & Gas UK has categorised into five different types for fabrication purposes: • Subsea • Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (FPSOs) • Steel structures within three main weight ranges: o Under 4,000 tonnes o Between4,000tonnesand20,000tonnes o Greater than 20,000 tonnes

The number of projects in each category over this five-year period can be seen in figure 39 (overleaf) and, as mentioned above, the majority in this time-frame are subsea tie-backs. For this type of development, the survey results show that most of the structures are fabricated in the UK. Larger platform structures are being built in both the UK and overseas, but fabrication of FPSOs is invariably contracted to ship yards located in Korea and China for commercial and capacity reasons.
