Static legs linked to the seabed undemeath the surface keep the buoy body in place. Above the water level, the body has a spinning portion that is attached to the offoading/loading tanker. A roller bearing, referred to as the main bearing, connects these two portions. Due to this array, the anchored tanker can easily weather-vane around the buoy and find a steady position. The concept of the buoy is determined by the type of bearing utilized and the divide between the rotating and geostatic sections. ‘The buoy's size is determined by the amount of counter buoyancy required to keep the anchor chains in place, and the chains are determined by environmental conditions and vessel size, marine hose model___Catenary Anchor Leg Moorings (CALM) buoy ‘ocean waves | 1. Categorisation of SPM Moorings CALM buoy is an application of SPM mooring systems Lt There are three categories of SPM moorings that will be looked: SPMs, CALM buoys and marine hose systems, These are based on their operational relevance to the CALM buoy system or the connecting FPSO tanker in an ‘SPM unloading or discharging hose system, ike deepwater lines, Oil Offloading Lines (OLLs), flexible riser pipes, flexible hoses, and other CALM buoy hose systems HUMa1SILNI1SI:615714615920) T> ayoid failure, safety must be key for installation and (unyloading (22223), an operation to replace or install components can be carried out to change the complete buoy hose system, like on the SBM buoy in Djeno Teminal, Congo 4), as depicted in Figure 1.

These might be made up of ships, rigs, piles, or gravity anchors, depending on the local soil conditions. Based on the SPM classification, CALM and SALM are the two most common mooring systems for SPMs. In a CALM system, the buoy is held in place by the CALM's anchor cchain, which runs in catenaries towards anchor points slightly further away from the buoy. The SALM system is similar, with the exception that the SALM is only anchored by one anchor leg. The key advantage of a CALM buoy over a SALM buoy is it is easy to maintain. CALM buoys have been deploye the vast majority of Marine Terminals since the mid-1990s. | 2. Components of SPM System Generally, the mooring lines, connectors, and anchors make up a mooring system. The mooring wires can also be used to connect buoys and clump Weights. A mooring ine can be made of a variety of materials, such as chains, fiber ropes, or wire ropes.

By definition, a marine hose is simply a fluid transfer conduit.
