Bravo gets DNV classification.Zakum Development Company's (Zadco) Bravo became the first oil loading terminal to be classed in the Middle East after DNV DNV Det Norske Veritas DNV Dirección Nacional de Vialidad (Argentina) DNV District of North Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada) DNV Der Norske Veritas handed over the Full Term Classification Certificate to the company. Bravo is a single point mooring MOORING, mar. law. The act of arriving of a ship or vessel at a particular port, and there being anchored or otherwise fastened to the shore. 2.

As the classification society, DNV ensured that the class requirements were complied with for all the significant elements in this project such as subsea Subsea is a general term frequently used to refer to equipment, technology, and methods employed to explore, drill, and develop oil and gas fields that exist below the ocean floors. This may be in "shallow" or "deepwater". hose, buoy, floating hoses, the mooring system, and mooring hawser system.

Zadco Alpha Thettail said that in addition to Zadco Bravo, Zadco Alpha was currently under classification process. The fabrication of the new buoy, which is replacing an existing one, is completed and will be installed soon, just a few kilometers away from Zadco Bravo. Zadco's engineering and projects department team's leader Seddiq Khouri said Zadco chose to class the loading terminal in order to ensure that the SPM SPM - Sequential Parlog Machine buoys were designed, fabricated and installed in accordance with a highly recognised international standard. This would avoid future debates during operation and tankers loading. Class certification would also control the periodical inspection of the terminal and hence enhance the integrity and maintenance of the buoy. Zadco chose DNV as it was one of the recognised and approved certifying authorities with proven marine experience, he said. "DNV's early involvement in the annual inspection of our old loading terminals and the pre-contract services provided in preparation of the business case for replacement of the buoy has supported the decision." Zadco was formed in the late 1970s to develop and operate the Upper Zakum field.
