INTEC was involved in one of the deepest export terminals in the world, the Zafiro SPM. The SPM, located in 136 meters of water, serves as the export terminal for the Zafiro Producer FPSO offshore Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, West Africa. The terminal consists of a CALM buoy for 300,000 dwt tankers which replaces the use of tandem mooring export procedures previously utilized at the spread moored FPSO.

INTEC was responsible for complete engineering and construction management of the SPM terminal project including SPM site and pipeline route selection, preliminary pipeline design, pipeline and SPM tender documents and assistance during this tendering process, detailed design review, inspection and construction supervision, and commissioning assistance.

INTEC completed the detailed design and preparation of tender documents for the upgrading of two terminals on the west coast of southern Argentina, at Caleta Cordoba and Caleta Olivia. These facilities had been recently privatized and are owned by Terminales Maritimas Patagonicas (Termap). The need to export the increased crude production led to a requirement for larger facilities to accommodate 150,000 DWT tankers, and generally upgrade the tank farm in terms of capacity, and safety and control systems. Two new CALM buoys and new 36-inch diameter loading lines were determined to be required. In addition, INTEC designed additional storage tanks, a new fire water system, and a control and safety monitoring system that met international standards.

Perhaps the most intriguing export terminal INTEC is involved with is the Manavgat Water Export Project on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. This facility will be capable to export 250,000 m3 of treated fresh water, and an equal volume of untreated fresh water from the Manavgat River. Two SPM's each with dual 48-inch loading lines will allow the loading of 250,000 DWT tankers for transport of water to areas around the Mediterranean Sea. The project is under construction and expected to be completed in 1998.
