SBM Offshore is a global developer and operator of floating production solutions for the offshore energy industry. The company specialises in the design, engineering, construction, installation and operation of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, turret mooring systems and single-point mooring (SPM) buoys. These assets enable oil and gas producers to exploit deepwater and remote hydrocarbon reserves by converting production fluids into marketable oil and gas, while storing and offloading cargo to shuttle tankers.
Headquartered in Schiedam, the Netherlands, SBM Offshore traces its origins back to the 1960s when the first turret-moored production vessel concept was demonstrated. The company became an independent listed entity in 2005 following a demerger from its former parent, with a workforce that spans more than 30 countries. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Bruno Chabas, SBM Offshore has focused on operational excellence and technological innovation to meet evolving industry standards.
In addition to FPSO vessels, SBM Offshore provides a portfolio of services that includes maintenance, integrity management and life-extension programmes for existing floating assets. Its engineering teams deliver turnkey solutions, encompassing feasibility studies, project execution, and field support. The company also offers fast-track accommodation and utility barges, turret conversion modules and offshore support services aimed at optimising asset uptime and reducing life-cycle costs.
SBM Offshore’s projects are located in key offshore basins around the world, with a strong track record in West Africa, Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico and the Asia Pacific region. By combining local field experience with global delivery capabilities, the company seeks to address client needs across the asset lifecycle—from concept development to decommissioning.
