Terminals

With more than 500 systems installed to date, the Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring or CALM is the most popular and widely used type of Offshore Loading Terminal. CALMs have been deployed worldwide for a variety of applications, water depths and vessel sizes ranging from small product carriers to Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC). The CALM’s safe and easy berthing and un-berthing operations have made it the preferred offshore terminal of Mooring Masters and Tanker Captains.

SBM Offshore pioneered the development of the CALM more than six decades ago. Since then, we have delivered over 400 CALM Offshore Terminals and remain the principle innovator and market leader in loading and offloading terminals in the oil and gas industry today.
