PTSC – BACH HO FSO-5, Vietnam During 2008 and 2009 LMC designed an external turret mooring for Vinashin Offshore Industries.The turret was constructed in Nam Trieu Shipyard, Hai Phong, Vietnam for the PTSC FSO BachHo. The vessel operates in the Bach Ho field on the continental shelf of Vietnam in the SouthChina Sea, 200 miles from shore. This was the first FSO built inside Vietnam and a significantproject for entry into emerging markets there. It is a new build tanker with a displacement of150,000 dwt. The FSO was installed and first oil reached in November 2010. The FSO has a cantilever turret system with a 9 mooring line asymmetric mooring pattern toallow for the seasonal directionality of the monsoons. LMC also performed the detailed design ofthe riser system, comprising of two bonded risers coupled together. Due to the large currentsexperienced in the region a riser tethering system was required. The turret and mooring system was Classed by ABS.

M3NERGY – CPOC FSO, Malaysia In 2008–2009 LMC designed an external turret mooring system to attach to the bow ofthe tanker Difko Susanne for M3nergy. The Floating Storage Vessel was renamed the RatuSongkhla upon completion. The FSO is installed in 50m water depth at the JDA BlockB-17, offshore Malaysia. The operator is Carigali-PTTEPI Operation Company Sdn Bhd (CPOC). The turret mooring system comprises a 6 leg chain mooring system, capable of holdingthe vessel on station for a 5.1m Hs cyclonic environment. The turret system is similar tothe nearby, LMC designed, Carigali-Triton Operating Company (CTOC) FSO.Processed hydrocarbon fluids come through a single 8 riser and axial swivel to the vessel. The turret and mooring system was Classed by ABS.

EXMAR/CPTL – FARWAH FPSO, Libya In August 2001 LMC secured a contract with Doris Engineering of Parisfor the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of anexternal turret mooring system. The turret was designed to fit the bowof a new-build 900,000bbl Floating Production Storage & Offloadingvessel owned by Exmar Offshore, Belgium, and built at the Izar-Feneyard in Spain. The FPSO receives oil from a field offshore Libyaoperated by Compagnie Petroliere Total Libye (CPTL) which was theLibyan subsidiary of TotalFinaElf. The FPSO has been in operation since2003. The turret was moored using a 3 x 3 allchain arrangement in a water depth of83m. The turret includes a single 10production riser and HV power cable.The turret and mooring system iscapable of remaining on station duringan 8.8m storm environment. The LMC design is the first of its kindand allows the turret to be delivered tothe hull fabrication yard as a fullycommissioned item, thus splitting workbetween the hull and turret fabricationyards that can be geographically remotefrom one another. These advantageshave been well publicised in thetechnical press. The turret and mooring system wasClassed by Bureau Veritas.

CTOC – CAKERAWALA FSO, Gulf of Thailand In 2000, LMC was awarded a contract todesign and assist in procurement of specialistcomponents for an external cantilever turreton the Cakerawala Puteri FSO, offshoreThailand/Malaysia.The vessel collects condensate from the large offshore gas field development by CTOC(Caragali, Triton Operating Company).

The FSO was connected to themooring system in April 2002.The turret mooring system is designed to maintain station during a 5.8m Hs environmentin a water depth of 55m. The mooring system comprises of 6 x 1 all chain system, with asingle 6 condensate riser and axial swivel utilised for production. The Cakerawala FSO was classed by ABS.

NIOC/SHELL – SOORENA FSU, Persian Gulf In 2000 a contract was entered into with Shell Exploration in TheHague to design and procure components for an external turretmooring system for the 330,000 dwt Shell tanker Lanistes. Aftercompletion of LMC's design in London and procurement jointlybetween LMC and Shell of the specialist components for it, theturret was fabricated in Sembawangs shipyard in Singapore. It wasinstalled on the vessel renamed Soorena. The Floating StorageUnit was connected to the mooring system offshore Iran inNovember 2001 under LMC supervision. It was then handed overto the operators of the field, the National Iranian Oil Company(NIOC). The Soorena served the Soroosh Oilfield and also received oilfrom the Nowrooz Field. The combined production for these twofields placed them amongst the largest offshore fields in theworld. The turret mooring system consists of an 8 x 2 all chain mooringin 46m water depth. The FSU also includes a novel double waveriser arrangement to accommodate the shallow water and largeexcursions. The basic design of the riser system was performed byLMC and incorporates 2 x 15" unbonded risers joined over theirlength. The Soreena was replaced at the field by a larger FSU in 2010,after 10 years successful production. The Soreena was Classed by Lloyds.
