Offshore vessels and floating facilities such as FSO, FPSO and FLNG units operate in demanding marine environments where corrosion resistance, structural reliability and fire safety are important considerations.

For shipbuilders, offshore engineering companies and EPC contractors, selecting the right grating system is essential for walkways, access platforms and selected maintenance areas.

Why Choose FRP Grating for Offshore Applications?

Traditional steel grating is widely used in shipbuilding and offshore structures. However, carbon steel may require protective coatings, regular inspection and corrosion maintenance in marine environments.

Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) grating offers an alternative for suitable applications, combining lightweight construction with corrosion resistance and customizable surface options.

Key benefits include:

• Corrosion resistance: Suitable for evaluating in saltwater and corrosive industrial environments.

• Lightweight design: May reduce grating dead load compared with steel alternatives, depending on panel specifications.

• Anti-slip options: Textured surfaces can help improve underfoot traction when properly selected.

• Low maintenance potential: Can reduce the need for conventional steel corrosion protection.

• Material flexibility: Different resin systems are available to address project-specific requirements, including fire performance.

Offshore Grating for FSO, FPSO and FLNG Projects

Endura manufactures FRP grating and pultruded composite profiles for industrial and offshore applications.

Depending on project specifications and applicable approvals, FRP grating can be evaluated for:

• Offshore walkways and access routes

• Equipment maintenance platforms

• Selected marine service areas

• Offshore oil and gas facilities

• Floating production and storage units

• LNG-related offshore infrastructure

For applications requiring enhanced fire performance, Endura’s phenolic FRP grating has undergone Intertek testing against ASTM E84 and ASTM E119. Actual suitability must be confirmed against the relevant test reports, vessel specifications and applicable marine requirements.
