Wind and current mooring loads on a moored tanker
This page describes wind and current mooring loads on a moored tanker and the associated engineering assessment topics. Project use requires qualified inputs and engineering review.
Assessment topics
- Compute wind and current load on a moored tanker from the OCIMF coefficients.
- Resolve longitudinal, lateral and yaw load components for a heading and environment.
- Feed the loads into a mooring or berthing check.

Questions
What is OCIMF MEG4 used for?
The OCIMF Mooring Equipment Guidelines give standard wind and current load coefficients for tankers, used to work out environmental mooring loads at a berth or on a moored vessel.
What assessment outputs are described?
The longitudinal, lateral and yaw wind and current loads for the heading and environment, ready to feed a mooring or berthing assessment.
