Offshore terminal infrastructure
Riverlake is involved in the development and structuring of Single Point Mooring (SPM) and Conventional Buoy Mooring (CBM) systems as part of offshore terminal infrastructure projects.
We support clients across both new developments and the optimisation or upgrade of existing installations, from early-stage project definition through to technical coordination and execution support.
SPM and CBM systems provide offshore solutions for the transfer of liquid bulk cargoes between vessels and onshore storage facilities, particularly in locations where conventional port infrastructure is limited or not available.
SPM systems typically use CALM buoy configurations to moor large tankers offshore, with cargo transferred through subsea pipelines connected to onshore terminals. CBM systems are generally applied to smaller vessels and multi-product operations depending on operational requirements.
These systems combine offshore mooring structures, subsea pipelines, pipeline end manifolds (PLEM) and onshore terminal connections into a continuous interface between sea and shore.
