The Calculation Method of the Maximum Mooring Force of an External Turret Mooring System

Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1991
Floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO) and floating storage and offloading units (FSO) have been and will be built for small or medium size oil fields. Recently the external turret mooring systems (ETM system) for FPSO/FSO are increasing in number, because of easy installation onboard, redundancy of mooring chain (i. e.
