SPM (Single Point Mooring) systems
Single Point Mooring (SPM) systems are specialized setups used to anchor and connect large oil or gas ships to underwater pipelines while at sea. They allow vessels to safely load or unload cargo without needing to anchor directly to the seabed. The SPM consists of a buoy or turret anchored to the ocean floor, with hoses or hoses connecting to pipelines onshore. This system provides stability, flexibility, and safety for offshore extraction and transportation, enabling ships to remain in place while transferring resources, even in rough sea conditions.
