FSOs and FPSOs
FPSO = Floating Production, Storage and Offloading
Often a converted tanker, these will sometimes have production facilities onboard, and are normally used in areas where a pipeline to transport oil to shore isn't available. Typically a shuttle tanker will moor alongside the FPSO and offload the stored oil periodically.
