IMODCO Terminals, a subsidiary of the Netherlands-headquartered SBM Offshore, has received approvals in principle (AiPs) from Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) for a portfolio of jetty-less solutions developed to enable offshore floating storage of ammonia, liquefied natural gas (LNG), or natural gas.

Bureau Veritas’ AiPs for the portfolio of jetty-less solutions for new energies’ transfers follow the review of the designs of IMODCO’s catenary anchor leg mooring (CALM) buoy, CALM soft yoke, and tower loading unit (TLU), which offer ammonia carriers a connection to onshore ammonia refineries or storage via subsea pipelines.
