Floating Storage Units
Floating Storage Units (FSUs) are large vessels designed to store oil and gas products at sea. They are often used in offshore oil fields where transporting resources to land is not immediately feasible. FSUs can hold significant quantities of crude oil or liquefied natural gas, helping to manage supply and demand efficiently.
These units can be converted from existing ships or built specifically for storage purposes. FSUs play a crucial role in the energy industry, allowing companies to maintain production levels while waiting for transportation or refining processes. They are essential for optimizing the logistics of oil and gas operations.
