| Turret Mooring Systems |
|
| Turret mooring systems integrate all functions for mooring, gas-fluid and power transfer in one system. No hawsers, floating hoses, active turret rotation systems or propulsion systems are required. |
|
| The turret concept can receive more than 50 risers and associated umbilicals. Turrets can be designed and built for use either inside the vessel hull or outside the hull where the turret is connected by a rigid structure to the bow or stern of the vessel allowing the tanker to weathervane over 360 degrees. |

Bluewater’s compact turret casing design moors the tanker to a fixed location and minimises hull reinforcement, allowing the turret to be positioned close to the vessel’s bow maximising overall vessel storage capacity. This design reduces deflections and improves main bearing reliability.
A multi product swivel provides multiple paths for gas, water and crude, as well as the associated paths for hydraulics, chemical injection, power, control and optical signals. |

The exact configuration of a turret mooring system differs from application to application depending on process requirements, vessel size, environmental conditions, etc.
Two basic types of turret mooring systems are distinguished:
