Single Buoy Mooring (SBM)

A single buoy mooring also known as single point mooring is a loading buoy anchored offshore that serves as a mooring point and interconnect for tankers loading or offloading gas or fluid products. Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) cannot berth at a lot of ports owing their higher drafts. SBMs can easily be installed in deeper waters. The VLCC can connect to the SBM buoy which is anchored offshore at depths comfortable for such large vessels and transfer the crude to the SBM from where in it reaches the storage terminal on the shore via sub-sea pipelines connected between the SBM and the storage terminal.
