Static towing
The Oil Companies International Marine Forum has released a new information paper on static towing assembly. The Static Towing
Assembly Guidelines provide technical guidance on selecting fit-for-purpose towing assemblies that minimise risk of injury
to crew members or damage to equipment and optimise the effectiveness of static towing operations. It supplements the Guidelines
to Offshore Tanker Operations and should be read along with the relevant guidance for static towing operations.
