Mooring Lines - Integrity Management
Offshore Technology Conference, 2012Abstract The Floating Product Systems (FPS) fleet has increased steadily over the last 2decades and is expected to continue to grow with developments in the world'sdeepwater basins. One of the issues with floating installation is that they aremoored to the seabed and therefore subject to the forces exerted during ...

Characterization of Polyester Mooring Lines
Volume 1: Offshore Technology, 2008Fibre ropes are extensively used in marine applications. One critical area of interest is their application as mooring lines for floating offshore platforms, for which primarily polyester is now employed in various regions (offshore Brazil - now for 10 years, West Africa, Gulf of Mexico).

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

Research on the Arrangement of the Mooring Lines of the Thruster Assisted Mooring System
Volume 5: Ocean Engineering, 2013As the offshore industry is developing into deeper and deeper water, station keeping technics are becoming more and more important to the industry. Based on the dynamic positioning system, the thruster assisted mooring system (TAMS) is developed, which consisted of mooring lines and thrusters.

Effect of Mooring Line Arrangement on the Dynamics of Spread Mooring Systems
Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 1996Abstract A design methodology is formulated to reveal the dependence of nonlinear slowmotion dynamics of spread mooring systems (SMS) on mooring line arrangement. For a given SMS configuration, catastrophe sets are developed in the parametric design space showing the dependence of stability boundaries and singularities of bifurcations on

2018 9th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE), 2018
In this study, dynamic analysis is conducted on a Floating Mooring Line-Driven Platform (FMDP) subjected to sea wave forces. The effect of changing mooring lines pattern is investigated to enhance the dynamic behavior of the FMDP. The analysis is demonstrated with six mooring lines FMDP.

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

Performance of a Lightweight Aramid Mooring Line
Offshore Technology Conference, 1987ABSTRACT A one-mill ion-pound break strength rope of high strength aramid fiber was designed, produced, and field evaluated as a mooring line on the drilling rig Zapata Lexington. The rope was used in an insertion mode between a length of conventional steel wire rope and chain.

Experimental Study of Polyester Mooring Lines
The Journal of Ocean, Mechanical and Aerospace -science and engineering- (JOMAse), 2017Mooring lines have several types of material which is chain, wire, synthetic fiber rope and hybrid. Mostly, in oil and gas industry is use chain and wire rope as a mooring line for shallow water platform. When exploitation of oil and gas become deep, synthetic fiber is use as an alternative for mooring line.
