5,8 metre diameter, 40 ton net buoyancy, 75 ton SWL. These are the top model features of our Resinex Catamaran Buoy type Pem 58 x 2000. It is the top model in the world range, being the widest and most stable mooring buoy in plastic ever made for the offshore oil market.
The exceptional stability of the buoy is due to a particular mooring stabilizing system which Resinex has studied to guarantee the maintenance of a constant structure even during a 75 ton mooring traction.
Twin buoys were designed, produced and assembled by Resinex technicians in August 2005 for the malaysian companies MSE (now MMHE – www.mmhe.com.my) and MISC (www.misc.com.my) subsidiaries of Petronas.
They were immediately installed 55 miles off Terengganu on the east coast of West Malaysia in the PM-305 block of the South Angsi-A (SA-A) offshore oilfield. They will be the mooring point for the shuttle tankers of the FSO (Floating, Storage, Offload) operated by Talisman Energy.
The project was also supervised by London Marine Consultants (www.londonmarine.co.uk).
