Franklin Offshore’s principal manufacturing facilities are located at its Singapore headquarters, where it also has 210 metres of waterfront to support the wide range of its activities. Franklin Offshore’s mooring services involve the fastening and anchoring of offshore rigs, platforms, vessels and other structures to the ocean floor to ensure that they remain stationary during exploration and production operations. These mooring services include both temporary and permanent mooring. Its temporary mooring services include the installation, retrieval and reinstallation of mooring systems for mobile offshore drilling units such as semi-submersibles and floaters as they are moved from one well to another during the oil and gas exploration and development phase. Over the last ten years Franklin has completed over 50 such temporary mooring projects.
