The situation
A deepwater FPSO was preparing a phased mooring inspection. Divers would gauge critical chain links and ROVs would run calliper systems subsea. The integrity team needed to be certain, at every phase, which leg, connector and support buoy was in front of them, on components that foul quickly and where getting it wrong is expensive.
The approach
- Durable Aquasign identification on anchor legs, connectors and support buoys.
- A consistent scheme tied to the mooring layout, so subsea identification matches the inspection plan.
- Non-toxic, maintenance-free markers suited to the dynamic mooring environment.
The outcome
Each phase of the inspection could target the intended component first time, reducing correlation time under the water and the risk of gauging the wrong link. Because the markers stay legible, they continue to serve subsequent inspection cycles without re-marking.
On a mooring system, being certain which leg you are inspecting is not a detail. It is the whole basis of the result.
