The purpose of this paper is to present the experience acquired by PETROBRAS in the bid phase management for adaptation of the tanker Presidente Prudente de Moraes, so called P.P. Moraes, to be turned into an F.P.S.O. (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) turret system unit for the Barracuda Field Pilot System in Rio de Janeiro`s Campos Basin, Brazil. It also deals with the main challenges faced and the philosophy that will be leading this project to achieve certain records in the international petroleum industry, such as: anchored turret F.P.S.O. in deepest water (840m) and largest number of associated risers (34 lines).
