Designed and installed by APL/ UW, Spms provide a large, stationary, instrumented
platform at 200 m depth.
Using Spms eliminates unnecessary ship traffic in inland
ports as well as the“double handling” of the same crude oil, reducing the opportunity for spills and emissions each time the crude oil is transferred.
