FPSO Crew Roles & Offshore Hierarchy Explained (OPITO Training) | Ep 5

Who does what on an FPSO? This lesson explains the offshore crew hierarchy — OIM, production, marine and maintenance teams — and the OPITO training (BOSIET, HUET) you need to work offshore, from a 30-year offshore engineer. ▶ Subscribe for weekly offshore engineering lessons:    / @offshoreengineeringacademy   🚢 How Engineers Build a Floating Oil Refinery the Size of an Aircraft Carrier! | Complete FPSO EPCI Masterclass Welcome to the ultimate FPSO EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Installation) Masterclass on YouTube! An FPSO (Floating Production, Storage & Offloading) vessel is a floating mega-refinery operating 200 km offshore—extracting multiphase fluids from deepwater wells, processing them on deck, storing crude in the hull, and offloading to shuttle tankers. This 12-chapter, 55-episode course bridges naval architecture, process systems, and international regulatory compliance. 🧠 Key Course Outcomes & Technical Standards: • Hull & Stability: Hydrostatic sizing, intact stability (GM min 0.5 m), and topsides weight growth. • Mooring & Geotechnics: API RP 2SK spreads (intact FOS 1.67, damaged 1.25), suction caissons, and API RP 2I. • Subsea & Risers: SCR and flexible risers, MEG hydrate loops, and DNV-ST-F101 / ASME B31.3. • Regulatory: IMO (SOLAS, MARPOL 15 ppm limit), Safety Cases, SCEs, and ICP verification. • Topsides Process: 3-stage separation (BS&W under 0.5%), hydrocyclones, IGF, TEG, and amine sweetening. • Piping & Materials: ASME B31.3 piping, pump NPSHa, and NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 hardness (max 22 HRC). • Safety & Area Zoning: IEC 60079-10 Zones 0/1/2, Ex d/e/ia/p, SIL 2 / 2oo3 ESD, and A-60/H-120 barriers. • LSA & Logistics: 200% POB TEMPSC lifeboats, DP supply vessels, and CAP 437 helidecks. 🎬 Complete Playlist & Clickable Timestamps: An FPSO is only as safe as its crew. In Module 4 we cover the offshore organisational hierarchy, the responsibilities of each key role, and the mandatory safety training every offshore worker must hold. What you will learn: ▶ The Offshore Installation Manager (OIM) — supreme command authority explained ▶ Production Superintendent: process plant safety and operations leadership ▶ Control Room Operator (CRO): the most critical operational role during production ▶ Marine Superintendent: hull stability, ballast, and vessel safety ▶ Helideck Landing Officer (HLO): helicopter operations and crash rescue ▶ OPITO BOSIET certificate: what it covers and why it is mandatory ▶ FOET renewal every 4 years: what changes and what stays the same ▶ Role-specific competencies: gas testing, rigging, banksman, permit to work authority ▶ On-installation emergency response training and muster drills ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Introduction 01:00 — 4.1 The OIM: Authority and Responsibility 03:30 — 4.1 Production Superintendent and CRO 07:00 — 4.1 Marine Superintendent and HLO 10:00 — 4.2 BOSIET and FOET Training Requirements 13:00 — 4.2 Role-Specific Competencies 15:30 — Summary and Key Takeaways 📌 All course playlists:    / @offshoreengineeringacademy   🔔 Subscribe for the complete FPSO EPCI course — new modules released weekly.
