Pumangol CBM Supplied in record time
At the beginning of 2015 Resinex built, transported, assembled and followed the installation of 8 maxi buoys type Pem 58 x 2000 at the Luanda Fishing Port in Angola
At the beginning of 2015, Resinex manufactured, shipped, assembled and followed the installation of eight Maxi-buoys type Pem 58 x 2000 at Luanda Fishing Port in Angola. The final installation has been carried out as expected, that is in March 2015.
The Conventional Buoy Mooring (CBM) has been studied by Resinex on demand of the South African Engineering Company PMI, wich has supplied a complete package (design, site investigation, procurement and installation) to Pumangol, the major distributor of Hydrocarbures in Angola.
It is considered by ABS the largest CBM in the world.
Vessels up to 225.000 Dwt will moor at this CBM; these vessels will supply the refined oil to the onshore tank farm Pumangol in Luanda and then they ship it to the distribution net which is widespread in the African country. Pem 58 buoys are the top model buoys of Resinex CBM range and are installed in open sea all over the world. In this case the diameter is 6 metres and the height is 2 metres. Net buoyancy is 38 tons. They are equipped with quick release hook of 120 tons and a complex system of stabilising levers wich allows mooring and unmooring operations even with adverse marine conditions.
The whole project has been ABS certified; ABS provided also the complete design approval of the buoy type 58 x 2000 tons. Buoys were shipped using 22 containers of 40′ box and assembled in only 8 working days. As per other cases, the modularity of the Resinex Buoys granted a considerable saving of transport charges and remarkable reduction of assembly costs.
