Abstract	A joint industry project on the fatigue capacity of Floating Production Systems (FPSOs) has been carried out with 19 participants form oil companies, designers, shipyards and classification companies during the period from 1998 through 2000. The main objective of the project was to reduce the risk of fatigue cracks and fracture in FPSOs. The project provided small scale and full scale S-N data on typical fatigue sensitive details in FPSOs and tankers. It also provided improved information on the important link between S-N data and finite element analysis for fatigue life assessment. Finally, it provided data to more reliably assess the risk for unstable fracture of FPSOs when fatigue cracks were present in the structure. This paper provides links to other sources where a more detailed description of some of the main achievements which have been presented.
