At around 269,000 DWT, the FSO Massango — a converted VLCC — is the heart of the Kole Oil Terminal, paired with a CALM single-buoy mooring (SBM) some 90 nautical miles off Douala in the Gulf of Guinea. This is a pure offshore crude-export facility rather than a quayside port: it loads only Kole, a medium sweet crude gathered from roughly thirty offshore fields and marketed by Perenco. Throughput is modest in shipment terms — on the order of four tanker cargoes of about 950,000 barrels per year — and the buoy can take tankers up to very large draughts. There are no container, breakbulk, RoRo or general customs-cargo operations here. Forwarders with boxed or conventional cargo should plan for Douala or the deep-water port of Kribi; Kole is relevant solely to crude-oil liftings.
