Design and optimization of buoy mooring with single-point cable for seafloor observatories
For long-term mooring buoy observatories in the deep sea far from the coasts, we design the hybrid system, named Mooring Buoys Observation System with Benthic Electro-optical-mechanical Cable (MBOSBC).

Effect of Water Depths on the Hydrodynamic Responses of an FPSO Platform
Ship-shaped Floating Production Storage Offloading platforms (FPSO) are commonly used in the production of oil and gas in offshore deepwater regions. The vessel is held in place by mooring lines anchored to the seabed during operation, either in spread ...

Statical analysis of mooring lines considering sea bed condition and design charts of mooring lines
Multi-mooring system is one of the popular means to position a floating offshore structure on the ocean. On doing basic design of it, we have to make static and dynamic analyses of mooring lines, but of the two the static one is more basic.Till now there were no useful method to make statical analysis considering sea bed condition, and so we were in ...
