Strange....
Crystal Amber seem a bit quiet ... seems they had plenty today a few years back....
Why wouldn't ARCM not sell the PMO outstanding debt like others if they want out ???
Have they not just caused the drop to buyback cheap ??
And lots of people in Scotland Don't....... Hides behind the Saltire for the brave heart vote..... Doesn't want independence never has done... the question should be which union do you want to be in UK union or European Union ?
Why do drilling Rigs ( semi-submersibles ) not use piles but AnchorS??
Why does Subsea Manifolds / Structures have piles at each corner ??
A suction pile is an anchor just a different type.
yes but its not destroying the company like you have stated..
Why do you think Scotland will Leave the union. More people voted for unionist Party's than voted for the SNP in the last general election. Europe or the union ?? would be the Question not independence what the SNP shout about, but it's not what they are offering.
Which part do you think is not correct for what i have posted?
I see you put up Newbie why does that matter ? I assume you mean newbie to be posting on the board as i have been invested and read the board for the last three or four years.
I not posted to insult you or anybody else just added information i am aware of due to working in the industry. Anyway enjoy the remainder of your xmas.
The mooring lines are the same as the mooring lines on a Semi Submersible rig. So will be more than capable of holding the vessel in relative position without using the Thrusters. If the weather was going to be out of the mooring line safety limits they would un latch and head for shelter.
A lot of FPSO do not latch and unlatch for really bad weather as most are in Shallower water. You will also find that half of the FPSO'S in the North Sea do not have thrusters fitted on them and they just weathervane all the time. If they needed in the odd occasion to hold heading a sea tug / Anchor handler will go out.
Sharp end of oil patch sounds like you have never been to sea.....
if the FPSO is using thrusters it is not weathervaning. and will have swivel piece's in the
stack.

no the vessel does not continually use it thrusters while the latched on to the buoy. The vessel itself pivots around the buoy its heading being established by the strength of the current / wind / sea state.
It may use the thrusters to keep the heading of the FPSO in one direction if there is operations being conducted on the field equipment by a rov vessel and the like.
Aboubleuk,
Not at all fella,
If you read the thread you will see that i was replying to the previous poster who thought it would have issues as it wasn't transferring by chopper. I was saying that no vessel would have a chopper transfer within 5 miles of dock unless its emergency. Off course it will go back alongside it's a vessel not a rig. ( for multi of reasons Like you highlight).
Sorry i won't post again.
