The Effect of Mooring Line Pre-Tension on FDPSO’s Motion

Volume 7: Ocean Engineering, 2016
As a multifunction floating platform, Floating Drilling, Production, Storage and Offloading (FDPSO) combining the well-known Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) with a drilling unit. For the environment condition of deep-water oilfield is very severe, the motion response and mooring line tension of FDPSO is a worthy topic of studying. In

Mooring line tension observed through a maximum entropy spectrum

Journal of Marine Science and Technology, 1999
A method for measuring mooring line tension is proposed based on observation of the natural frequencies of the mooring line segment between the winch and the fairlead. The anchor line tension is observed through the string equation where an analytical expression for the line's eigen-frequencies is obtained.

Investigation on the probabilistic distribution of mooring line tension for fatigue damage assessment

Ocean Engineering, 2016
Abstract This paper is to investigate the applicable probability density functions (PDFs) for the short- and long-term mooring line tension amplitudes to be used for accurately assessing the mooring line fatigue damage with the spectral method. Statistical characteristics of the mooring line tensions were investigated, in which kurtosis and skewness ...

A tension-recording sensor for mooring lines

Aquaculture International, 1995
IFREMER and MICREL have developed a new compact and waterproof tension sensor to record force on lines in seawater. Two shackles link the sensor to the line, and it measures the tension over a short measuring period (e.g. 0.5 s). It records measurements on its internal memory.

Virtual Sensors for Mooring Line Tension Monitoring

Offshore Technology Conference, 2020
Mooring line tension monitoring is required for permanently moored floating offshore platforms by some regional regulators and classification societies. This requirement is typically satisfied by installing physical sensors that directly measure the line tension.
