The Multi Buoy Mooring (MBM) also known as Conventional Buoy Mooring (CBM) includes multiple buoys fixed to the seabed by means of mooring lines and marine anchors. The three to six buoys are permanently installed in a rectangular pattern that allows safe mooring of a vessel which is positioned between the buoys.
The tanker is moored close to a submarine string laying in idle position on the seabed which is picked up by means of a rope/buoy coupling. They’re used typically in non-deep water where there are no quay facilities available for the loading/offloading crude oil and oil byproducts from oilfields or refineries.

The configuration hereunder indicated is the most common hose string. Bassi Offshore however, depending from each specific case, is able to propose tailor made solutions to fit every customer need.
