Overview
This updated book provides practical guidance on avoiding and resolving disputes in the construction of offshore units and vessels, including FPSOs, drilling units, OSVs, FLNG, FSRU and fixed platforms. Written by a leading team at Stephenson Harwood, it covers the entire construction process from initial concept right through to installation, at each stage commenting on typical contract terms and offering expert advice based on real-life examples. With 30 per cent of the world’s oil and gas production coming from offshore areas, the construction of specialist vessels to perform offshore operations is a crucial part of the industry. However, with exploration and production being performed in increasingly exacting locations, the scope for disputes arising from cost overruns, scheduling delays and technical difficulties is immense. This second edition has been updated to include new case law as well as a new chapter on financing. The existing chapters will feature more information on payment mechanisms and on transportation and installation. This unique text will be of enormous assistance both to legal practitioners and offshore construction professionals including project managers, financiers, insurers and subcontractors.
