The supply of the off-vessel equipment (wire, chain, piles) as well as the installation of the system is the responsibility of the EPC3 installation contractor.  SOFEC was also contracted directly by the client to manage the hook-up operations associated with the offshore FPSO installation.  The SOFEC mooring system is DnV classed.
