Abstract:Floating offshore units, such as FPSOs, are subject to dynamic excitations from the environment and require to be moored to maintain position at the fix location of operation. In designing positional mooring systems for floating offshore units, systematic analyses must be performed to predict tension levels in the mooring lines and offsets of the floating unit under extreme and ambient service conditions, in order to ensure the mooring arrangement provides a level of safety acceptable to the industry. In order… Show more
