21-10-2020 Turret mooring system for oil transfer

We were called in for the manufacture and delivery of a turret mooring system. This is used for oil transfer from an FPSO vessel to an export oil tanker. The bearing rotates freely around the turret, therefore allowing the tanker to take up any desired position.

Project management, detailed shop-engineering, material procurement, onshore manufacturing, precise processing, assembly and testing were all part of the scope of this project. The biggest challenge was ensuring the correct sequence of welding and processing was followed to prevent deformation. The turret mooring system features a 26-wheel bearing, on which the pressure had to be evenly distributed.
