WHAT DOES TOPSIDES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Topsides

On an offshore oil platform, topsides refers to the upper half of the structure, above the sea level, outside the splash zone, on which equipment is installed. This includes the oil production plant, the accommodation block and the drilling rig. They are often modular in design and so can be changed out if necessary allowing expensive platforms to be more readily updated with newer technology. On a boat or FPSO, it is the part of the hull between the waterline and the deck.
