This paper describes the design, fabrication and transportation of the 28,500mt Ursa TLP hull. The process involved a fast track design performed in the USA while fabrication of the hull was underway in Italy. Highlights of major decisions or events will be presented. Unique concerns include: 1) interface with the TLP deck module designers, fabricators and installer, 2) loadout of the hull onto the H-851 transport barge, 3) grillage support for transportation of the hull as a dry tow from Italy to the Gulf of Mexico, later changed to Aruba, and 4) ballasting and float-off of the hull from the H-851 in 40m of water.
