MOORING ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

GLOBAL MARITIME specializes in the design and analysis of catenary mooring systems primar-
ily for the offshore oil and gas industries. Moorings of the utmost complexity have been successfully
analysed using both quasi-static and full dynamic analysis solutions. Other mooring arrangements in-
volving tautline and pile or fender restrained systems have been designed and analysed.

Typical applications have included:
Design and analysis of multi-component multi-leg catenary systems for semi-submersible drilling rigs
and accommodation platforms.
Design and analysis of mooring systems for FPSOs, both fixed orientation and weather vaning
(turret) systems.
Provision of onboard computer systems for analysis and simulation of moorings and riser perform-
ance.
Design and analysis of systems for interconnected tandem moored units.
