Catenary Anchor Leg Rigid Arm Mooring (CALRAM) |
|
 |
|
The principle of a CALRAM buoy is similar to that of a CALM Buoy. The difference is that a rigid arm replaces the mooring hawser to connect the tanker to the buoy. |
|
 |
|
This type of buoy mooring can only be used for permanently moored tankers. The rigid mooring arm eliminates the risk of breaking away and of a collision between tanker and buoy. |

Bluewater also provides the innovative Wishbone system, whereby a "soft yoke" connection is created by hanging the rigid arm from the tanker using pendulums or chains. |
