State-of-the-Art Bluebell FPSO from Aragon Receives ABS Approval

ABS issued approval in principle (AIP) to Aragon, part of Seatrium, for its floating offshore ammonia production and storage design called Bluebell.

Bluebell is designed to use natural gas and carbon capture technologies to produce blue ammonia, a cleaner, lower carbon alternative, for global transport. The majority of the carbon dioxide generated in the process will be captured, purified, liquefied and stored in dedicated onboard storage tanks.

ABS completed design reviews based on class and statutory requirements.

“ABS is proud to work with Aragon, sharing our deep insight into the safety challenges of ammonia, along with our extensive technical expertise on complex floating production facilities,” said Miguel Hernandez, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Offshore.

With offshore expertise and innovation spanning more than 70 years, ABS provides best-in-class offshore services, assessing new and evolving solutions to help safely manage assets for offshore operations. Learn more here.
