senting IMODCO's first specially designed commercial, lightweight buoy, is for operation offshore

Tanjung Paser, Indonesia. It will moor tankers up to 35,000 dwt, discharging jet fuel to an onshore booster station and storage facility.

The terminal will be supplied with two 12-inch-diameter float- ing hoses and two 16-inch-diame- ter pig launchers located in oppo- site access chambers of the buoy hull. Pigs will be inserted into the launchers and fluid originating from a moored tanker pushes them through the SPM terminal cargo system toward shore.

The India Oil Company contract is for a replacement buoy for an

SPM currently operating in the

Vadinar Field, Gulf of Kutch, in northwest India.

Capable of mooring tankers up to 300,000 dwt, the India Oil off- shore terminal has been designed with extra shell thickness and self-installation features and in- corporates hydraulic actuation for the pipeline end manifold (PLEM).

Hoses, chains and hawsers already existing at the site will be utilized.
