The ABS-classed Liza Unity<\/em> has become the first FPSO in the world to receive the SUSTAIN-2 notation from ABS.<\/p>\n

The notation is the next level in the vessel sustainability program developed by ABS to help fleets meet the environmental and human elements requirements contained in the strategic Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the United Nations.<\/p>\n

Liza Unity<\/em> was the first FPSO to receive SUSTAIN-1 in 2021, recognizing sustainability-related aspects like pollution control and waste management. SUSTAIN-2 recognizes additional attributes such as the usage of low-carbon fuels and human-centered design.<\/p>\n

\u201cABS continues to work closely with our clients to develop innovative solutions for new market challenges. With the award of SUSTAIN-2, we are proud to continue to support SBM Offshore and their comprehensive strategy to address sustainability considerations,\u201d said Miguel Hernandez, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Offshore.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alex Glenn, COO at SBM Offshore stated: \u201cWe are very proud that Liza Unity<\/em> has become the first FPSO to be awarded the advanced SUSTAIN-2 notation by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). This achievement highlights SBM Offshore\u2019s commitment to protecting the environment by adhering to stringent standards for emissions reduction, pollution management and life cycle sustainability.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Liza Unity<\/em> FPSO is owned by ExxonMobil Guyana Limited and operated by SBM Offshore. It was the second FPSO built for ExxonMobil\u2019s Stabroek Block development in Guyana. It was also the first FPSO delivered under SBM Offshore\u2019s Fast4Ward\u00ae program and has an installed production capacity to produce approximately 220,000 barrels of oil per day.<\/p>\n

ABS has a long history of supporting FPSO projects and classed the first FPSO vessel in U.S. waters in 1978. ABS continues to lead in providing guidance on safety and innovation with new technology that supports larger, more complex FPSOs for sustainable operations globally.
