About us
Welcome to the FER Forum
A platform where industry leaders, researchers, and regulators collaborate to shape the future of floating energy, from FPSOs to renewables like wind and solar.
Our Story
Founded over 25 years ago during the FPSO Integrity JIP, the FER Forum brings together global experts to exchange knowledge and launch collaborative projects. We meet twice a year to explore challenges and advance floating energy innovation.
A Global Knowledge Exchange
The Forum covers the entire lifecycle of floating energy systems, from concept, to development to operation. Together we continue to advance design, fabrication, operation and regulation.
Expanding Beyond FPSOs
Originally focused on FPSOs, the Forum now embraces the broader world of floating energy – including FLNGs, floating wind and floating solar. New research topics to drive safe and innovative floating energy solutions are discussed in an open, collaborative setting.
