SOFEC designed, constructed, and installed a CALM Buoy system for the SHELL Malampaya Deep Water Gas to Power project.
The purpose for this buoy is for the transfer of condensate from the concrete gravity Production Platform to tankers through a 2.5km long 24-in pipeline. Located in 75m water depth, the CALM buoy is capable of accommodating 40,000 - 110,000 dwt tankers.
The Malampaya project is located in the South China Sea offshore of the Palawan Island in the Philippines.
