This paper is purposed to present the experiment procedures to study the hydrodynamic characteristic of new generation Round-Shape FPSO. This is because response of FPSO in wave is required to modelling correctly to ensure the safety of FPSO in dynamic condition. In this experiment, the FPSO model is constructed based on scale ratio 1:110 and it is installed in wave dynamic tank with model size mooring lines. Besides that, this paper also discussed the preparation procedures for model test which included the mooring design process and model setup before experiment. From the model experiment data, it is observed that the round FPSO which stationary by mooring lines experienced two types of horizontal motion there are wave frequency motion and slow varying motion due to drift and mooring effect. While the vertical motion of this FPSO is only experience wave frequency motion.
