The project involves delivery of the turret mooring systems such as mooring legs, mechanical connectors and anchor piles, along with fluid transfer systems that include piping, swivels, safety, and controls.

Representing Sofec’s fourth single point mooring system for LNG related business, the Coral South FLNG Turret will use the company’s high-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS) technology.

The design allows a reduced pressure envelope through the swivel stack by identifying HIPPS on the geostationary part of the turret, increasing operational safety on the FLNG vessel.
