SINGLE POINT MOORING SPM SYSTEMS
A Single Point Mooring SPM System is a mooring buoy permanently anchored to the seabed, designed to allow vessels to safely moor offshore. This system provides a secure connection point, enabling tankers or other ships to approach, moor, and offload or load cargo without requiring port infrastructure. Each SPM system is specifically engineered to meet the environmental conditions of the location and the operational requirements of the vessel. In many cases, SPMs also function as key elements in offshore fluid transfer systems, connected to subsea pipelines.
Tenerife Shipyards is an expert in the fabrication of onshore Single Point Mooring systems, with over a decade of experience supporting leading offshore engineering companies and OEMs. Our facilities in the Canary Islands are strategically located and equipped to deliver high-quality, custom SPM fabrication projects safely, efficiently, and on time.
Our two shipyards are located in a strategic position in the Mid-Atlantic – West Africa, where three continents are connected, offering a cost-effective solution to support the main engineering companies by fabricating Single Point Mooring (SPM) Systems. This advantageous location allows us to provide unparalleled access to key global markets, significantly reducing transportation and logistical costs. Our team of experienced engineers and technicians works closely with clients to design, fabricate, and deliver high-quality SPM systems tailored to their specific needs. With a strong focus on efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness, we ensure timely project completion while meeting the most stringent industry standards for safety and performance.

“We also offer our clients technical assistance from our International Welding Engineer (IWE) throughout the duration of their projects. This specialized support ensures that all welding activities comply with international standards and are executed with the highest level of precision and quality. Our IWE provides guidance from the planning and design phase through to execution, monitoring procedures, materials selection, and inspection processes. This hands-on involvement helps prevent costly errors, optimizes welding performance, and ensures structural integrity in even the most complex offshore applications. At Tenerife Shipyards, we are committed to delivering not only high-quality fabrication but also expert-level engineering support every step of the way.
