THIS IS THE BEGINING OF THE NORTHWESTERN ISLANDS, OF WHAT IS CALLED "THE RING OF FIRE ISLANDS". THAT MAKEUP ALL OF INDONESIA. ALTHOUGH THIS ISLAND HERE IS UNINHABITED THERE WAS A MEGA YACHT THERE. THE WATER WAS THE CLEAREST I'VE YET SEEN IN MY LIFE, HERE. THIS IS ACTUALLY INDIA TERRITORY. YOU CAN SEE THE YACHT IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY.
HERE IS THE SBM, THIS THING ROTATES AND IS HELD DOWN BY SIX ANCHORS. A TANKER WILL MOOR TO THIS AND THEN CONNECT UP THOSE FLOATING HOSES. ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE THERE IS NOT AN FSO. THEN THE TANKER WILL TRANSFER ITS CRUDE OIL. THERE IS A PIPELINE THAT CONNECTS UNDERWATER THAT GOES TO LAND. THIS IS A WAY TO OFFLOAD OIL WITHOUT A SUPER TANKER COMING TO PORT. I'D TELL YOU WHERE THIS ONE IS LOCATED BUT HEY THAT'S CLASSIFIED!
