SPB Containment System

The Sanha LPG FPSO will utilize IHI's Self-supporting, Prismatic-Shape, IMO Type-B tank system or SPB. The SPB gas containment system is recognized by industry as particularly effective for liquid gas storage on an FPSO or FSO because of its internal tank stiffening structure and suitability for partial loading.
