    Single Point Mooring Maintenance and Operations Guide (SMOG) is an industry guide with technical recommendations and guidance for the operation and maintenance of single point moorings (SPM). It looks at each stage of SPM operation, including pre-arrival procedures, tanker berthing and mooring, hose connection, cargo transfer, disconnection and departure. Detailed guidance is provided on inspection and maintenance and there are checklists covering pre-berthing, lubrication and inspection of key structures. There is also guidance on hoses, covering handling, storage, inspection and testing.

    The third edition of SMOG now incorporates, and updates, the following:

    • Guidelines for the Handling, Storage, Inspection and Testing of Hoses in the Field

    • the Single Point Mooring Hose Ancillary Equipment Guide

    • Single Point Mooring Maintenance and Operations Guide, 2nd Edition.

    The guide builds on previous recommendations and the new or significantly changed topics that are included in this edition include:

    • Design of SPM systems.

    • Operation of SPM’s including:

      • Operating environmental limits.

      • Guidance to ensure hoses are lifted safely within tanker crane capacity.

      • Guidance and actions regarding ship/shore cargo quantity comparison.

      • Qualification and training of personnel including Mooring Master skills and competence.

    • Water flushing at SPM’s.

    • The use of hoses, including:

      • Storage, handling and hose string assembly.

      • Hose time in service data from terminals.

      • Specific guidance following overpressure.

      • Hose inspection and testing.

      • Information regarding marine breakaway couplings.

    • Support vessels and the use of tugs.

    • Specific SPM Health, Safety, Security and the Environment (HSSE) guidance.

    It supersedes the following documents:

    Single Point Mooring Maintenance and Operations Guide (2nd edition, 1995)

    Guidelines for the Handling, Storage, Inspection and Testing of Hoses in the Field (2nd edition, 1995)

    SPM Hose Ancillary Equipment Guide (3rd edition, 1987).

    All three publications have been updated to reflect gained experience, revised procedures, current best practices and equipment developments.

    This Guide builds on previous recommendations. The following are among the new or significantly changed topics included in this edition:

    Section 2 – Design of SPM systems, including preliminary design considerations, site selection and the cargo transfer system including hose systems.

    Section 3 – Operation of SPMs now includes:

    • – Operating environmental limits
    • – Guidance to ensure hoses are lifted safely within tanker crane capacity
    • – Guidance and actions regarding ship/shore cargo quantity comparison
    • – Qualification and training of personnel, including Mooring Master skills and competence.

    Section 4 – Inspection and maintenance now includes time-based schedules based on terminal experience and more detailed inspection procedures for mooring systems. Flushing procedures are also addressed.

    Section 5 – This section is devoted to the use of hoses, including:

    • – Storage, handling and hose string assembly
    • – Hose time in service data from terminals
    • – Specific guidance following overpressure
    • – Hose inspection and testing
    • – Information on marine breakaway couplings.

    Appendix A – Contains health, safety, security and environment (HSSE) guidance, referencing Marine Terminal Management and Self Assessment (MTMSA) processes.

    Appendix D – Provides information on support vessels and the use of tugs.

    This Guide does not intend to cover specialised deep - water moorings, such as steel riser applications. The sections on hoses cover the applications included in the Guide to Manufacturing and Purchasing Hoses for Offshore Moorings (2009).

    The Guide contains recommendations on safety, design and good operating practices. However, it is recognised that if more stringent international, national or local regulations apply, those regulations must take precedence.
