In brief
SeaRose FPSO is a floating production, storage and offloading vessel primarily located in the White Rose oil and gas field, approximately 350 kilometres (190 nmi; 220 mi) east-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada in the North Atlantic Ocean. The White Rose field is currently operated by Cenovus Energy (as of 2021, after its acquisition of Husky Energy), with a 60% ownership interest. Suncor Energy owns a 35% interest, and Nalcor the remaining 5%.
SeaRose is approximately 50 km (31 mi) east of the successful Hibernia field and the more recent Terra Nova field. All three fields are in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin on the eastern edge of the famous Grand Banks fishing territory.
SeaRose made her way from the Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in Geoje South Korea to Marystown, Newfoundland, for final preparation, in April 2004; a 14,000 nmi (26,000 km; 16,000 mi) trip that took two months. In August 2005 she left Marystown for her work duty at Cenovus Energy's White Rose oil field.
In January 2018, the C-NLOPB suspended White Rose operations because of Husky's failure to disconnect when an iceberg approached, contrary to Husky's ice management plan.
In June 2024, SeaRose has undergone refit in drydock at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast as part of a life extension program, ending in October of the same year.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 95,887 gross tons, SeaRose FPSO is the 3,479th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 16 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 911 rig / offshore units held here, it ranks 19th by tonnage — larger than 98% of that group. Their median tonnage is 9,254 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 51,732 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (179 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Hanwha Ocean, with 27 hulls on record.
Canada is the country of registry for 633 vessels in this directory, of which SeaRose FPSO is the 2nd largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (404 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,800 GT. Browse every ship flagged Canada.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 3 rig / offshore units flying the Canada flag, of which 1 is larger by tonnage.
SeaRose FPSO was built in 2004, making it 22 years old. It is one of 1,485 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 17,188 GT; within it this ship is the 53rd largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 826 vessels to Samsung Heavy Industries, with a median tonnage of 75,201 GT, delivered between 1980 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 271.0 m overall, SeaRose FPSO is 197.0 m longer than the 74.0 m median for rig / offshore units on record, with a beam of 46.0 m and a draft of 18.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9274501 this registry holds 60 other vessels, whose median build year is 2004 and which range from 2002 to 2007. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2004.
Its IMO number, 9274501, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 7×5 + 4×4 + 5×3 + 0×2 = 141 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.

No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
