Single point mooring planned preventive maintenance completed for SPM CPC-3 at the CPC Marine Terminal.
Following a successful hydro-test, the CPC-3 SPM single point mooring was put back into operation.
It is worth reminding that CPC-3 SPM was decommissioned on August 15, 2025 for planned preventive maintenance to change out the floating and subsea hoses. Presently, the crude oil offloads to tankers at the CPC Marine Terminal are proceeding via the two single point moorings - SPM CPC-1 and SPM CPC-3.
