MOSCOW, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) said on Monday it has completed the installation, commissioning and trial operation of its single-point mooring 2.
Three SPMs - floating buoys located about 5 km (3.1 miles)from the Yuzhnaya Ozereevka CPC terminal near the Russian port of Novorossiysk - are used for offshore tanker loading. Usually two are active, with one as a backup.
SPM-2 has been offline since last November after suffering significant damage in a Ukrainian naval drone attack.
