Most of the parts and equipment incorporated into SPM and turret systems are not manufactured by the overall system suppliers. Valves, Seals and Packing, Expansion Joints, Navigation Lights and Radar Reflectors, Telemetry Equipment, Hawsers, Chains, Winches, fasteners and so on, can be acquired directly from their original qualified manufacturers, and with full certification. With our deep experience and expertise on these systems, we help your procurement process by providing a range of services to you:
