    Single Point Mooring (SPM) systems allow tankers to load and unload offshore without the need for jetties. An SPM consists of a buoy, mooring chains, and a subsea manifold connected to a pipeline. Tankers connect hoses to the buoy to transfer oil via the pipeline to shore terminals. SPM buoys can be turret or turntable designs that rotate to weathervane tankers. Proper surveys, certification, dredging, and flow assurance are required for safe and effective SPM project development and operation.

    The key takeaways are that Single Point Mooring (SPM) systems are used for loading and unloading tankers at sea by providing a weathervane mooring. The main components include pipelines, buoys, hoses and mooring equipment.

    The main components of an SPM system include the pipeline, PLEM (Pipeline End Manifold), buoy, hoses, mooring equipment like hawsers and chains that connect the tanker to the buoy.

    The different types of buoys used in an SPM system include turntable buoys which have a fixed buoy body and rotating mooring table, and turret buoys which have a geostatic turret and a rotating buoy body.
