Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

This is correct Floating, Production Storage and Offloading vessel which is used in the production of oil in deep water oil fields. It is generally a large tanker which enables the easier processing and handling of crude before it embarks on its journey to shore and the use of the FPSO has made the accessing of deeper/harder to find oil more economical.

If this relates to oil and gas industry the meaning would be floating production storage and offloading or is related to something else?
