The float allows a vessel to find the rode and connect to the anchor.
Three single-point mooring systems (SPM) were added in 2012, [10] each with a design rating of 800 thousand barrels (130,000 m 3) (kbbl) of oil per day, [11] and two more SPMs are planned to be operational by 2013 to increase total loading capacity to 6.4–6.6 Mbbl (1,020,000–1,050,000 m 3) of oil per day.

The vessel is moored by its turret to 16 seabed driven steel piles, each 65 m (213 ft) long and 5.5 m (18 ft) in diameter. Subsea equipment was built by FMC Technologies, and Emerson is the main supplier of automation systems and uninterruptible power supply systems. [10] By July 2015, all 14 gas plant modules were installed. [11]
