SBM Offshore has created two companies to meet the challenges of Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM).
The companies, Imodco Terminals and Imodco Services, will operate independently from the rest of SBM Offshore.
SBM said the move would strengthen its leadership on its historical business of CALM buoys and after sales services.
Chief executive officer of SBM, Bruno Chabas, said: “By creating the two Imodco entities the group ensures that our clients will benefit from a highly experienced and dedicated team as well as a wealth of terminal technology.
“This new approach to doing business adds value to what clients have previously enjoyed by ensuring that Imodco is highly responsive to clients’ needs as well as providing support for their operability – the key to future success.”
The moorings specialist has long been a contributor to the development of the process, with more than 400 CALM offshore terminals created since the 1950s.
Imodco Terminals is responsible for sales and execution of CALM Terminals turnkey projects, while Imodco Services will be responsible for after sales.
The company will provide part sales and inspection and intervention services.
CALM is the most widely-used type of offshore loading terminal.
