The Valuable Connection

MacGregor believes that commitment to continued research and development is the key to maintaining a strong position in the market. Our experience, engineering competence and focus on people are just some of the reasons for choosing MacGregor to supply Pusnes offshore loading systems.

Our Pusnes™ Loading Systems ensure safe and efficient offshore transfer of crude and other products. The loading scenarios involve various types of offshore production and storage facilities such as FPSOs, FSOs, CALM buoys, loading towers and fixed platforms. The transfer of oil from these facilities to a shuttle tanker or tanker of opportunity is carried out via the Pusnes™ offloading system and the Pusnes™ bow loading system.

MacGregor has a strong history of innovation and execution excellence of Pusnes loading systems. State-of-the-art concepts for challenging off-loading and bow loadingprojects have placed us at the forefront of the industry.

In-house technical expertise provides customers with safe, integrated and cost-effective solutions. The continued success of our loading systems depends on our commitment to deliver high quality products which are operationally safe and environmentally sound.

Our dedication to safety is verified by our long track record for the supply of systems with virtually no incidents leading to human injury. Various types of safety features are included in the equipment design and contribute to achieving the high level of safety, pollution avoidance, e.g.:

• Fail-safe brakes• Control Interlocks• CCTV surveillance of operations• State-of-the-art alarms• See through drum flanges• Flushing systems• Operational redundancy

Since 1986 MacGregor has developed and supplied Pusnes™ Loading Systems for both simple and sophisticated operations. The new range of products is based on innovative and proven technology and meets customers´ and authorities’ requirements for operational and environmental safety.

Bow Loading System The Pusnes™ bow loading system enables a shuttle tanker to safely and efficiently load oil from an offshore production or storage facility. The bow loading system consists of two integrated systems.

The hose handling systemA 20” bow loading coupler is located forward at thecentreline of the ship. The coupler receives the hose end from the offloading vessel/platform (FPSO, FSO). A vital part of the system is the Pusnes™ moment free bow loading coupler which allows the coupler to follow the movement of the hose. The system includes a hose winch for pulling in and handling the hose during the connection and disconnection phases.

The hawser handling systemA roller fairlead and a chain stopper located on the platform deck are operated together with a twin drum traction winch for mooring purposes during tandem loading. The chain stopper is a hydraulically operated, self-locking type, and can be released under full design load. Aft of the chain stopper is a guide roller with a built-in load cell which operates together with a traction winch. The system also includes a storage reel or bin for storing the messenger line during loading.

Offloading System

The hose handling systemThe hose handling system comprises of various components that handle the hose during offloading and store the hose between loadings. The hose can be stored on a reel on deck, or on a chute along the deck. Simple systems have the hose floating in the sea between loadings.

The hawser handling systemThe hawser handling system is a mooring system withthe purpose of maintaining the tandem-moored vessel at a safe distance during loading operations. The hawser is attached to a releasable hawser-handling winch which combines mooring, handling, storage and emergency release functions into a single unit. After the offloading operation has been completed, the releasable hawser handling winch is used for storing the hawser complete with thimbles, chafing chain, messenger line and forerunner line.

All operations are handled without any manual handling of shackles and hawsers.

An offloading system enables an offshore unit to offload oil to a shuttle tanker or tanker of opportunity. The system consists of two integrated systems.

Exploring the Arctic and Subarctic RegionsMacGregor successfully provides functional and reliable Pusnes systems for rough and extreme weather conditions. As development of the Arctic continues, the need for specialised equipment for these harsh and environmentally vulnerable areas becomes significant.

The majority of today’s shuttle tankers operate in the extreme weather conditions of the North Sea or in the Arctic north of Russia, where reliable systems are a must. Customers continue to depend on us to develop and deliver equipment that meets these demands.

With over 100 years of experience supplying Pusnes deck machinery designed for extreme conditions, we have acquired extensive expertise and skill, which is reflected in other innovative products such as our Pusnes™ Arctic crane offloading system.

Arctic and sub-Arctic deliveries include mooring and loading systems to the northern territories of Canada and Russia.

The Pusnes™ Arctic crane offloading system was developed for offloading oil to dedicated shuttle tankers operating in Arctic conditions. The system is designed for the following loading scenarios:

• Icy conditions in pack ice with hose above ice and minimal changes in position • Open water in summer season with dynamic loads and frequent vessel movements

The crane is designed for long-term operation and stowing in harsh Arctic and corrosive offshore/marine environments.

Some of the first references for the supply of Pusnes™ deck winches are for the polar vessels Fram and Maud, used by Roald Amundsen during his polar expeditions in the early 1900s (including his historic expedition to the

South Pole in 1910-1912).

Oil companies and ship owners appreciate unique experience when evaluating new offshore loading concepts for LNG and crude oil. MacGregor regularly participate in early phase studies as well as in detailed development of tailor-made solutions and new concepts. Below are described three major new concepts.

LNG Offshore TandemMacGregor is a key partner in the OCT Group (Offshore Cryogenic Transfer), headed by OneSubsea. OCT has developed the system for offshore loading of LNG in a tandem configuration, a system based on the tandem ship-to-ship configuration that has been successfully employed for more than 20.000 offshore crude oil loading operations over the past 30 years.

Main features:• Safe offshore transfer of LNG in harsh environment • Quick Connect & Disconnect• Vessel separation; 90-115 m • Moment free flexible pipe suspension• 3 flexible pipes; 2 for LNG transfer and 1 for vapour return • DP2 LNG Carriers including an LNG version of the world renowned Pusnes bow loading system

LNG Offshore Side by SideA concept for side by side transfer of LNG to standard LNG carriers in harsh environment. Operating limits are increased when compared to conventional marine loading arm systems.

Main features:• Increased vessel separation; 20 meter • Operation in Hs 3,5 m • Augmented offloading rate with 16” composite hoses• Quick Conntect & Disconnect
