Floating & Marine Systems
Mooring, motions and hydrodynamics for FPSOs, floaters and vessels. This page describes the associated assessment topics.
Assessment topics
- Mooring fatigue. Estimate the fatigue life of a chain or wire mooring line from its tension cycles.
- FPSO spread mooring. Screen a spread-mooring system for line safety factors, or run the full environmental-load equilibrium.
- Synthetic rope mooring. Screen a polyester fibre-rope mooring for service life — fatigue, creep and minimum tension.
- Vessel motions. Estimate a vessel's motions, natural periods and motion comfort (seakeeping).
- Stability. Check a floating platform's intact stability — GM, righting arm, wind heel.
- OCIMF loads. Work out wind and current mooring loads on a moored tanker.
- Hydrodynamics. Set up a diffraction and radiation model for a floating hull (OrcaWave / AQWA prep).
Riser analysis and operability envelopes for drilling risers are assessed to API RP 16Q — Design, Selection, Operation, and Maintenance of Marine Drilling Riser Systems. The client receives an operability envelope and a riser analysis calculation report for the stated drilling-riser scope.
