About Imodco

Imodco at a Glance

Imodco is the leading supplier of CALM buoys, with over 450 systems designed and installed worldwide since 1958. We are a dedicated CALM Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation contractor.

We provide reliable and safe systems to the highest HSSE and quality standards while also ensuring aftersales support during the asset’s lifetime.

Building upon SBM Offshore terminals technology, Imodco has optimized and qualified the CALM buoy design to remain in the water for up to 30 years before dry dock is required, allowing for major cost savings for clients.

Imodco terminals enable bulk liquid carriers to perform cargo loading, un-loading, bunkering and de-ballasting operations simultaneously. We offer customizable Turntable or Wheel & Rail designs, both ensuring safe operations as well as efficient maintainability.

As preferred service provider for SBM, Imodco also integrates swivels and mechanical parts within turrets or other types of mooring systems for FPSOs.

With the largest track record of mooring systems developed and delivered, Imodco proposes unrivaled know-how and ensures support for any type of asset.
