2,800,000 BBL Capacity | Deepwater | Harsh Environment
The construction study for Project ODYSSEY, a next-generation Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit with a storage capacity of 2.8 million barrels, has officially commenced. Our firm provides specialized FPSO newbuilding consultancy for this project, designed for deep-water operations and harsh environmental conditions through strategic collaboration between our offices and engineering partners across the Philippines, Greece, and China.
Our main office in the Philippines, together with our international partners, is currently finalizing the FPSO hull configuration and structural model to ensure compliance with offshore technical consultancy standards, operational efficiency, and class requirements.
In parallel, our engineering teams are progressing with the evaluation and integration of machinery systems and advanced automation solutions to support reliable offshore performance, reinforcing our role in delivering high-capacity, sustainable energy solutions.
Project ODYSSEY is being developed with a strong focus on:
- Structural integrity for harsh offshore environments
- Advanced marine and process automation
- Operational reliability and safety compliance
- Efficient production and storage capability
- Future-ready engineering and sustainability standards
This project represents a significant step forward in delivering an FPSO newbuilding consultancy solution tailored for modern deep-water energy developments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does an independent technical assessment involve?
Our assessment process focuses on a comprehensive "health check" of your asset. We evaluate technical records, conduct physical inspections to verify condition against international standards, and identify any discrepancies between current status and operational requirements.
What documentation is required prior to an assessment?
To ensure a efficient survey, we typically review vessel particulars, maintenance logs, recent inspection reports, and safety management system (SMS) documentation. This allows us to focus our on-site time on high-priority technical areas.
How does PAMS Pacific Admiralty Maritime Services assist with inspection readiness?
We provide a "pre-vetting" perspective, identifying common technical gaps that often trigger inspection deficiencies. By reviewing readiness from the perspective of an auditor, we help operators proactively close gaps before official inspections occur.
What should I expect in a final technical report?
You receive an objective, evidence-based report that details the scope of work, findings, and technical observations. We provide clear, actionable recommendations aimed at mitigating risk and ensuring ongoing compliance.
Why is independent consultancy critical for technical opinions?
By remaining strictly independent—free from ties to crewing, manning, or agency services—we provide unbiased assessments. Our goal is to offer stakeholders a transparent, "source-of-truth" technical perspective to support informed commercial decisions.
