The Ras Isa marine terminal consists of: 1. The 409,000DWT Floating Storage and Offloading vessel (FSO) "Safer", including its bow mooring, hoses, pipeline end manifold (PLEM) and pipeline from Ras Isa and all waters surrounding the "Safer" within a 2nm radius: 2. The (auxiliary) Single Point Mooring buoy (SPM), floating hoses, PLEM and the pipeline from Ras Isa and all waters surrounding the SPM within 1nm radius; and 3. The designated holding anchorage.
