Comments
The DDCS mooring terminal is a shallow water dual product import SALM. There are two unique features of this SOFEC SALM:
- It is located in 15.2m of water making it one of the shallowest SALMs in the world
- It employs a dual sink/float 10-in. hose system. The hose design allows the floating hoses to be submerged and secured on the seabed when not in use.
This SPM system is installed to supply the pipeline system in Jutland and replaced a former CBM.
This terminal is very well adapted to winter sea and ice conditions found in this location. The principle products are MOGAS and jet fuel.
