Remora

Remora is an oil technology and service company, focusing on providing the international market with innovative solutions for offshore loading of crude oil. The company was incorporated in 2002 and has its registered office in Stavanger, Norway. The HiLoad was developed to revolutionize the offshore loading industry by providing DP capabilities to any tanker of opportunity, and seek to reform the crude export value chain. The range of HiLoad applications spans from offshore loading of crude oil, turret mooring of FSOs and FPSOs, to mobile propulsion or Dynamic Positioning (DP) system for seagoing vessels, such as barges and floating rigs. HiLoad generic feature utilizes the common design criteria for all tanker vessels of the world: flat bottom and straight sides. This creates a unique flexibility for the standardized HiLoad units: they can operate in any water depth, with any tanker of opportunity and on any oil field or terminal with no modifications required to the tanker. The name of the company was obtained from the “Sucker-fish”, which in Latin is named Remora. Just like the Remora fish the HiLoad is capable of attaching itself to larger “hosts”, and stay connected for shorter or longer periods. However, unlike the fish, the HiLoad DP can take full control over its host.
