Commonly the control and safety equipment (PLCs etc) at the very least. Maybe a few lights.

A lot depends on how reliable your emergency generator is and what size it is.

It's often a bit of a fight between the safety team who want all sorts of things hanging off the UPS and the electrical team trying to keep it to a manageable size.

Basically just enough to allow the FPSO to shut down safely and then if all else fails go into a full power down with everything else vented / flared or shut off.

Loose bulk power you shutdown.
