Introduction:
The commissioning phase is one of the most sensitive stages in the lifecycle of an FPSO. With valuable equipment and safety-critical operations in motion, managing risks is essential. Securitas was selected to deliver site-specific guarding and operational support during the final stages of an FPSO project in Geoje City. This post explores the challenges, customized solutions, and the successful results of our approach.
Navigating Security Challenges in FPSO Commissioning
Commissioning an FPSO involves complex and high-value work. Theft, unauthorized access, or disruption during this period can cause major setbacks. In a busy shipyard environment like Geoje—with many contractors and tight schedules—these risks increase. Securitas responded by developing a site-specific Risk Management Plan to address local conditions and minimize threats.
Implementing Tailored Security Solutions
Our Risk Management Plan was updated regularly to reflect ongoing changes in the project. Standard Operating Procedures were written specifically for the FPSO environment. As the scope expanded, we increased staffing levels to match the security demands—deploying 24/7 patrols, protecting sensitive equipment, and managing controlled access zones. Guard duties were aligned to client workflows, especially during peak daytime hours.
Achieving Zero Incidents Through Proactive Security Management
Thanks to this approach, there were zero major incidents or losses during the entire project. Our team adapted quickly to new challenges and client requests, while maintaining strict safety and accountability protocols. The result was a secure, stable environment that allowed operations to continue without disruption.
Conclusion:
Security during the commissioning of a complex vessel like an FPSO requires more than just manpower—it takes planning, flexibility, and precision. Securitas’ successful project in Geoje City shows how tailored solutions can protect valuable assets and support smooth operations.
