    Hi

    We are delighted to publish an article by Installation and Mooring Engineering expert Mr Rahul Kanotra. The article is a primer for anyone interested in performing a mooring analysis or understanding how mooring systems are designed, illustrated with an 8-point mooring design example.

    "

    A mooring system comprises of a floating body (or collection of bodies) which are connected to the sea floor (or terminals) by a system of lines that provide restoring forces against external loads. The General purpose of mooring lines is:

    • To keep the body in reasonable proximity of some target location (Station Keeping).
    • To operate in deep water (Drilling Rigs, FPSOs, TLPs, ).
    • To allow re-location of the units such as pipe laying barges.
    • To check clearance with other units or pipelines during drilling campaigns or installation procedures.
    • Loading/Unloading operations.
