The paper focuses on the global analysis of FPSOs in shallow water, with an emphasis on vessel motions and offsets, mooring and riser design. The paper emphasizes the complex hydrodynamic interaction between the vessel and the environment, and the prediction of the vessel responses unique to shallow water. This done by using two examples of FPSOs moored in shallow water using an external turret mooring system and a tower yoke mooring system. Results are presented that illustrate the unique nature of both mooring systems and their sensitivity to variation in the environment and system damping. The design of compatible riser systems for both mooring systems is also presented and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
