The slump in the market for the FPU market has led to a large reduction in investment. By the end of the second quarter of 2015, South Korea's FPU handheld orders for the 20, Southeast Asian yards with the order of 17, Chinese shipyard held 13. If you fail to obtain a new order, and in the construction of FPU are scheduled delivery, the end of this year, the South Korean shipyard handheld orders will decline to 14, Southeast Asian shipyard fell to 13, Chinese shipyard fell to only 6. FPU new orders will continue to increase this year, however, with the oil company's spending is expected to cut, orders will be significantly lower than last year.

According to EMA data, at present, the world's total of 42 shipyard is building a floating production unit hull and upper module. Among them, most of the FPU by the Asian shipyard construction or modification, the 42 shipyard 60% is located in asia. FPU with the largest number of orders for the shipyard were Samsung Heavy Industries, modern heavy industry and the shipyard, holding more than 7 orders. At the same time, in China, there are 10 shipyard is to build the upper part of the FPU projects around the world and hull.

Although the Asian shipyard in the FPU construction and modification of the market to occupy a dominant position, but some of the requirements of the local components of the local composition of the work in close to the operating locations of the country. Brazil, Nigeria and Indonesia's FPU handheld orders continued to grow. At present, there are 9 Brazil shipyard FPU orders, but the problem of corruption in Brazil's oil has led to a series of problems such as the construction of the shipyard is facing a series of problems; the construction of the relevant FPU may turn to the overseas shipyard.

Asian shipyard in the focus areas of FPU market is not the same. South Korean shipbuilders only pay attention to the FPU new ship built, including floating production storage and offloading vessel, semi submersible platform, tension leg platform, floating liquefied natural gas plant, floating storage again gasification device, floating type oil storage ship and column type platform. Among them, Daewoo shipbuilding, Hyundai and Samsung Heavy Industries interior have enough engineering and financial capability to deal with the industry's biggest FPU project orders. In China, the construction of FPU modified experience of the shipyard are state-owned shipyard. In addition, the private shipyard Wison offshore in 2011 received the first FPU orders, after it has received 4 new orders.

Unlike South Korean shipbuilders, Singapore Jurong shipyard, Keppel shipyard, wins Sembawang shipyard and Malaysia Malaysia marine heavy industries and other Southeast shipyard mainly focus on FPSO and FSO market modification. However, the Malaysian maritime industry has also built more than half of the offshore projects in Malaysia submarine production platform, column type platform and tension leg platform. In general, most of the orders received from Southeast Asia are from Southeast Asia, where there are some FPU will eventually run in West Africa and Brazil.
