FPSO spread mooring — strength and utilisation

This page describes fpso spread mooring — strength and utilisation and the associated engineering assessment topics. Project use requires qualified inputs and engineering review.

Published capabilities

Assessment topics

  • Screen a spread-mooring system for line tensions and safety factors (API RP 2SK).
  • Run the environmental-load static equilibrium of the moored system.
  • Report the most-loaded line and its utilisation against the criterion.

Questions

What does API RP 2SK cover?

The design and analysis of station-keeping (mooring) systems for floating structures — line tensions, safety factors, and the intact and damaged conditions.

What assessment outputs are described?

Line tensions and safety factors for a spread-mooring layout, the static equilibrium under environmental load, and the governing line and its utilisation.
