24th September 2026 - Main Congress Day 2

• Addressing fabrication bottlenecks and long-lead equipment constraints as renewed demand from re-entering and high-growth markets intensifies competition for yards in Brazil, West Africa, and Southeast Asia
• Leveraging regional fabrication hubs, flexible contracting, and multi-vendor sourcing to shorten lead times, manage cost escalation, and maintain delivery certainty amid tightening global capacity
• Aligning operators, EPCs, and suppliers to mitigate schedule and cost risk as FPSO projects accelerate in response to shifting supply dynamics and market re-entry opportunitie

• Assessing the supply landscape for critical FPSO process equipment and materials, including topsides, utilities, and marine systems supporting PEMEX offshore developments.
• Addressing procurement challenges such as long lead items, fabrication capacity, logistics, and integration risks that impact FPSO schedules, cost certainty, and project execution.
• Navigating local content requirements, supplier readiness, and contracting strategies to balance international sourcing with domestic participation and long-term asset reliability
