A Single buoy mooring (SrM) (also known as single-point mooring or SPM) is a loading buoy anchored offshore, that serves as a mooring point and interconnect for tankers loading or offloading gas or liquid products. SPMs are the link between geostatic subsea manifold connections and weathervaning tankers.
Tankers offload at LOOP by pumping crude oil through hoses connected to a Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) base. Three SPMs are located 8,000 feet (2.4 km) from the Marine Terminal. The SPMs are designed to handle ships up to 700,000 deadweight tons (635,000 metric tonnes ).
SBM Offshore N.V. (IHC Caland N.V. prior to July 2005) is a Dutch-based global group of companies selling systems and services to the offshore oil and gas industry.Its constituent companies started their offshore activities in the early 1950s and SBM subsequently became a pioneer in single buoy moorings (SBM) systems.

Multiple anchor mooring systems use two or more (often three) light weight temporary-style anchors set in an equilateral arrangement and all chained to a common center from which a conventional rode extends to a mooring buoy. The advantages are minimized mass, ease of deployment, high holding-power-to-weight ratio, and availability of temporary ...
On 20 July 2010 production was halted due to a leak in the sub-sea hose near the Panna single buoy mooring. [6] Production could not be resumed until October that year. [13] In October 2008 it was reported that British Gas was waiting for approval of a US$150 million program to construct nine in fill wells.
Initially production was to an ELSBM and then to the Fulmar Alpha platform in August 1986.The Exposed Location Single Buoy Mooring (ELSBM) has a height of 74 metres and stands in a water depth of 86 metres. It comprises a helideck, a mooring trunk, a mooring rope reel turntable buoyancy compartments and a ballast compartment.
Surface supplied diving equipment on display. Commercial offshore diving, sometimes shortened to just offshore diving, generally refers to the branch of commercial diving, with divers working in support of the exploration and production sector of the oil and gas industry in places such as the Gulf of Mexico in the United States, the North Sea in the United Kingdom and Norway, and along the ...
The tank is 50 m x 66 m and 17.5 m high. It is emptied periodically by tanker via a Single Anchor Loading (SAL) buoy mooring system. [1] [5] Pipelines
