HMPE Mooring Lines for Deepwater MODUs
OTC Brasil, 2011Abstract Polyester synthetic mooring lines are used widely in deepwater moorings for MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units). However, practical and technical limitations in the deployment of polyester tethers beyond water depths of 2,000m for short-term MODU moorings has prompted the development of alternative ...

Finite element modelling of mooring lines
Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, 2000In this paper, we develop a finite element model for a cable suspended in water. Global existence and uniqueness of solutions of the truncated system is shown for a slightly simplified equation describing the motion of a cable having negligible added mass and supported by fixed end-points. Based on this, along with well known results on local existence

The use of HMPE mooring lines in deepwater MODU mooring systems
OCEANS 2008, 2008The use of synthetic components, particularly polyester, in deepwater Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) mooring systems has become a viable option to extend the mooring capabilities of a MODU. To date, the use of synthetic components in MODU moorings has mostly been limited to polyester, with few exceptions. This paper will focus on an alternative

Mooring Line Tensions Prediction Based on MLP for Soft Yoke Mooring System
Volume 5B: Ocean EngineeringAbstract The soft yoke mooring system is widely used for the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) in shallow water. However, there were accidents of mooring system being pulled down by the FPSO in field. It is hence necessary to conduct realtime prediction of mooring line tensions.
