Effects of water depth, mooring line diameter and hydrodynamic coefficients on the behaviour of deepwater FPSOs

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2020
Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) platforms are the most used floating structures in the offshore oil and gas industry. They are generally kept in place with the aid of mooring lines anchored to the seabed.

Strategic Implications of Mandatory ESG Assurance and Its Impact on Competitive Advantage: Evidence From European Market Reactions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The EU has recently introduced, for the first time, a market‐wide mandatory assurance requirement for sustainability reporting under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The directive mandates that affected firms obtain independent third‐party assurance for their ESG reports. This study examines the equity market's reaction

Design and comparative analysis of mooring systems for a combined wind and wave energy system at intermediate water depth

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science
For intermediate water depths (typically ranging from 50 m to 80 m), designing steel catenary mooring systems for floating marine renewable energy (FMRE) platforms can be challenging due to the limited weight of suspended mooring lines.

Seats at the Table, Shifts in the Actions: Board Gender Diversity and Climate Activism

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As regulatory and stakeholder pressures intensify, firms are increasingly expected to move beyond symbolic sustainability commitments towards corporate climate activism. This concept refers to the active institutionalisation of climate‐focused mechanisms such as external assurance, board oversight and climate‐linked incentives.
