SeaRose FPSO is a floating production, storage and offloading vessel primarily located in the White Rose oil and gas field, approximately 350 kilometres (217 Nm) east-southeast off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada in the North Atlantic Ocean. The White Rose field is currently operated by Cenovus Energy (as of 2021, after its acquisition of Husky Energy), with a 60% ownership interest. Suncor Energy owns a 35% interest and Nalcor owning the remaining 5%.{{Cite web |title=Cenovus announces restart of West White Rose Project |url=https://www.cenovus.com/News-and-Stories/News-releases/2022/2452998 |access-date=2023-08-10 |website=www.cenovus.com |language=en}}
SeaRose is approximately {{convert|50|km|abbr=on}} east of the successful Hibernia field and the more recent Terra Nova field. All three fields are in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin on the eastern edge of the famous Grand Banks fishing territory.
SeaRose made her way from the Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in Geoje South Korea to Marystown, Newfoundland, for final preparation, in April 2004; a {{convert|14000|nmi|abbr=on}} trip that took two months. In August 2005 she left Marystown for her work duty at Cenovus Energy's White Rose oil field.
In January 2018, the C-NLOPB suspended White Rose operations because of Husky's failure to disconnect when an iceberg approached, contrary to Husky's ice management plan.{{cite web| url = http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/searose-suspend-cnlopb-1.4491787| title = SeaRose shut down after Husky reprimanded for iceberg close call {{!}} CBC News}}
As of June 2024, SeaRose was undergoing refit in dry dock in Belfast.
