Prelude Turret Mooring System: A 10,000-Ton Mooring Force Challenge

Offshore Technology Conference, 2020
Abstract The Turret Mooring System (TMS) for the Shell Prelude FLNG (Floating Liquefied Natural Gas) facility consists of a Top Mounted Internal Turret (TMIT) integrated at the bow of the FLNG hull. Permanently connected to the seabed through a dedicated mooring system, this Turret allows the FLNG facility to passively weathervane in ...

Dynamic mooring-forces allocation in dynamic ship positioning

Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 1989
The design of a dynamic positioning system for a multiply-moored vessel with active winches and thrusters is presented. The proposed positioning system is based on Kalman filter and linear optimal control. Its peculiarity is that it contains a scheme which allocates dynamically the control forces between moorings and thrusters.

Evaluation of Mooring Forces

Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1962
Study of active and semiactive moorings along mooring facilities; method of evaluation of natural and operational mooring forces including atmospheric disturbances, dynamic pressure of currents, drag force or frictional resistance, stimulated pull, yawing or rolling of berthed vessel, and seismic disturbances.

Berthing and Mooring Forces

Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1962
The determination of forces between the vessel and the dock during berthing depends on a large number of assumptions. An empirical formula is presented that represents average practice.

Pipe piles under mooring forces

2011
Floating Production Storage Offloading (FPSO) Vessels are widely used in offshore oil and gas industry. In offshore Atlantic Canada, mooring piles driven in the seabed, in water depths ranging from 80 to 200 m, are used to moor these FPSOs. These mooring piles are subjected to oblique pull forces. In this paper, a 3D finite element method has been used

Mooring forces in horizontal interlaced moored floating pipe breakwater with three layers

Ocean Engineering, 2008
Abstract The paper presents the results from model scale experiments on the study of forces in the moorings of horizontally interlaced, multi-layered, moored floating pipe breakwaters. The studies are conducted with breakwater models having three layers subjected to waves of steepness H i / L ( H i is the incident wave height and L the ...

Predicting the Maximum Mooring Force of a Moored Floating Offshore Structure

23rd International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, Volume 1, Parts A and B, 2004
The prediction of extreme mooring forces of moored floating offshore platforms due to long-term met-ocean database can be carried out using a response-based method. As the extreme mooring force for a symmetric turret-moored FPSO is related to the extreme platform excursion, the response-based method can be applied to obtain the extreme platform ...

Mooring Forces Induced by Passing Ships

Offshore Technology Conference, 1974
Abstract The paper deals with some preliminary results of model tests carried out in the wave and current laboratory of the Netherlands Ship Model Basin to determine the external forces on a tanker, moored in shallow water, as a result of the passage of a large tanker shaped vessel.

Analysis of Moored Ship Motion under Impulsive Forces

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
To prevent the damages of the moored ship and the wharf structures in heavy weather, the ship motion and its effects on the wharf are analyzed. The moored ship motion in high winds with big waves was investigated. Firstly, the lateral wind loads and wave loads were considered as periodic impulsive forces, and the simplified dynamical model was ...
