Theriault International Marine is pleased to present this IMODCO TYPE CALM BUOY for single point morning that was Fabricated 1997 (stock buoy),operated 4 years at AL RAYYAN field / QATAR, stored for 8 years on dry land (stock buoy). Presently is onshore.

Further, was operation from 1999 till 2003 as a mooring for storage tanker on marginal field development. Crude flow through one product line only (16�¯�¿�½) Decommissioned, sand blasted and painted, stored on dry land since.

Dimensions:
Skirt 14,25
Body 12.50 mtrs diam
Body height 4,27 mtrs
Weight in air approx 225 Tons

Central Pipe: 2 x 24�¯�¿�½ (one product, not used) and 1 x 16�¯�¿�½ (crude oil use). Valves as such in 24�¯�¿�½ system never used.

Body: 6 off compartments + one off central chamber; 6 chain hawses incl. stoppers receiving up to 3 �¯�¿�½�¯�¿�½ (95 mm) chain equi-spaced around circumference of buoy.

Rating of buoy 175,000 DWT (storage) plus 100.000 DWT (shuttle) tankers in 30 mtrs of waterdepth, with 6 x 3 �¯�¿�½�¯�¿�½ chain at local conditions. Loading rate 300 M3 per hour (16�¯�¿�½ system only)

General condition: Structurally sound buoy with of course some wear and tear around the hull, but nothing serious. Skirt slightly damaged due to continuous �¯�¿�½kissing�¯�¿�½ of tanker; bogie rails and wheels in close to perfect condition, swivel 100% correct. Little physical damage to superstructure.
As buoy has been utilized in extremely calm conditions under a very conscious and professional crew, the condition is as one can expect. Personal verdict of our on site representation is that buoy is ready for a 3 to 4 year operation after some superficial repairs and site preparation (adaption: spools etc), alt. for 10 to 15 years after a full refurbishment. Available �¯�¿�½as is - where is�¯�¿�½ alt. refurbished to �¯�¿�½as new�¯�¿�½.

SPM BUOY DETAILS:

The Single Point Mooring Imodco Buoy comprises the following principal components:
1) An all steel construction buoy body having a central watertight compartment, 6 equally spaced outer
buoyancy spaces, 6 equidistant hawse pipes for leg anchor chain and a side skirt around the lower most
part of buoy.
2) A turntable on deck having a boarding platform with lighting system, a mooring platform, a product
loading platform, and a central pipe swivel unit.
3) A product piping system comprising of 3 pipelines with inlet manifold fitted at the bottom of the buoy
and outlet manifold installed down the side of the product loading platform. The pipelines pass through the
buoy watertight central compartment leading to the central pipe swivel unit on deck.

corrosion found on lowermost part of partition bulkheads. The sounding pipe sustained numerous rust
spots, its air holes blocked with rust scales. Internal structures generally in good condition. Paint coating
at the upper part of entire area found intact except localized rust scale on deck head butt joint. Paint
coating at bottom area found totally broken down.
1.11) Internal of buoyancy space no.3:- Bottom plate partially wet at the time of survey. The bottom plate
including bottom stiffeners & bottom brackets sustained light rusting over 30 % of area. Light corrosion
found on lowermost part of partition bulkheads. The sounding pipe sustained numerous rust spots, its air
holes blocked with rust scales. Deck drain pipe appeared leaking as evidenced by traces of rust stains.
Paint coating at the upper part entire area found intact and smooth. Paint coating at bottom area partially
broken down. Internal structures generally in good condition.
1.12) Internal buoyancy space no.4:- The bottom plate including bottom stiffeners & bottom brackets
sustained spot rusting with rust scale formation over 10 % of area. The sounding pipe sustained numerous
rust spots, its air holes blocked with rust scales. Paint coating at the upper part entire area found intact
and smooth. Paint coating at bottom area partially broken down. Manhole sealing gasket partially cut-off.
Internal structures generally in good condition.
1.13) Internal buoyancy space no.5:- Found the access manhole collar corroded, cover lug plates partially
cut-off and dog locks seized. Access ladder uppermost section & lug plates corroded. Sounding pipe
sustained numerous rust spots, its air holes blocked with rust scales. Internal structures generally in good
condition with paint coating intact and smooth. A smaller access opening fitted with watertight door (with
6 dog locks) leading to the central compartment also found in good order.
