Like their permanent counterparts, SOFEC Internal Disconnectable Mooring Systems* are applicable in offshore areas of the world subjected to harsh environments and where seasonal cyclonic weather systems or icebergs are predominant. While the turret enables the vessel to freely weathervane in normal to severe conditions, this type of internal system allow the vessel to disconnect to avoid typhoons, hurricanes, icebergs, and other extreme dangerous conditions. The disconnect and reconnect sequence is quick and reliable.
