SBM -- MBM -- Re-Posting -- Saturday, April 24, 2021

I'm re-posting this because I learned a lot, and the video -- actually the audio -- is so damn-hot. If you play the video, put on headphones and play at loudest level tolerable. This is when you really, really want the best bass speakers available. If you're a whale, you'll love this.

This video is worth the price of the subscription cost for "The Million Dollar Way" blog. LOL.

Oil: New Acronyms (First Time Mentioned On The Blog)

Link here. 

• "in the anchorage of Baniyas, away from the SBMs"
• "first glimpse of Syria's deepwater oil terminal in Tartous ... at either SBM/MBM input/output points"
• Fandom? this is not it;
  
• ah, here it is: MBM, SBM; video here;
  
• "Baniyas, Syria"

Background:

• Baniyas: wiki;
• alternate spellings: Tartous, ancient Tortosa; Latakia, ancient Laodicea;
• north of the city of Baniyas
• one of the largest oil refineries in Syria; and, a power station;
• the oil refinery is connected with Iraq: the Kirkuk-Baniyas pipeline (now defunct)
• on a nearby hill stands the Crusader castle of Margat (Qalaat el-Marqab), a huge Knights Hospitaller fortress built with black basalt stone

Who would have thought: multiple buoy mooring is better than single buoy mooring? LOL.
