Advanced Single-Point Mooring (SPM) Systems in Oil & Gas Training Course

Course Category : Oil & Gas Management

Elevate your professional capability in operating and managing Single-Point Mooring systems through a comprehensive programme integrating engineering, operational, and environmental dimensions.
5 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

In an era where global energy operations increasingly rely on deep-water and offshore transport efficiency, Single-Point Mooring (SPM) systems have become an essential element in modern oil and gas maritime logistics. These systems enable safe and continuous loading and offloading operations away from conventional ports, ensuring reliability in remote or deep-water fields.
This course provides an in-depth exploration of SPM system design, operation, maintenance, safety frameworks, environmental considerations, and international compliance standards. The programme equips participants with advanced technical understanding and practical competencies to manage and optimise SPM operations within demanding marine environments..
