Description
Single point mooring (SPM) is a floating
buoy/jetty anchored offshore to allow handling of liquid cargo such as
petroleum products for tanker ships. SPM is mainly used in areas where a dedicated facility for
loading or unloading liquid cargo is not available.
Single point mooring (SPM)
serves as a link between the shore-facilities and the tankers for loading or
off-loading liquid and gas cargo. Some of the major benefits of using SPM are:
1.Ability to handle extra
large vessels
2.Doesn’t require ships to
come to the port and thus save fuel and time
3.Ships with high drafts can
be moored easily
4.Large quality of cargo can
be easily handled
