Internal Technical Document
VIETNAMESE STANDARD 6809-2001
RULES FOR THE CLASSIFICATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF

SINGLE POINT MOORINGS.
1. Scope of the application.
1.1. This standard regulates the required requests to the technical supervision
and the classification to the single point moorings (SPM) without having
accommodated persons, in the design, fabrication and repairing, recovering that
are used for tightening the ships, oil transport ships and other floating means
(hereafter called as ships) operating in the sea territory of Vietnam.
1.2. Technical supervisions and the classification of SPM are implemented by
the register of Vietnam (hereafter called as register).
1.3. For SPM design having new functions on floating, structure, arrangement of
the ship tightening, machine, equipments and fixed living arrangement etc…that
have not been mentioned in this standard will be considered by the register in a
separate manner in specific cases.
1.4. For parts that are not mentioned sufficiently in this standard or other
standards of Vietnam relating to, they maybe applied with practices and rules of
the foreign nations if they are accepted by the Register.
1.5. SPM are designed or fabricated according to other standards will be
classified by the register, if they have the safety level equal to the requirements
of this standard. In such cases, it is necessary to inform the register immediately
right in the period of the initial design that will lay a foundation for the design
acceptance.
1.6. For SPM that is a part of oil transport ship, it is not necessary to make a
separate classification according to this standard, then they will be classified
according to requirements for the mooring systems of TCVN 6474:1999.

there are not sufficient the detail data, we may make a supposition of the
allocation of speed of the flowed currents according to a depth of rule. Loading
caused by twisting tracks, it is necessary to consider the possibility of the

oscillation of the structure parts caused by twisting tracks, this is applied for
winds with vertical pipes on water surface and for waves, and flowed currents
for the vertical pipes and pipelines underground the water.

b) During installation
c) In the working condition with all anchors’s base connected to the buoy

d) On pulling, in case of pulling buoys
Designer has to check the following criteria:
1) The value of slanting centre height must be positive enough to ensure
primary stability on slack water, when the buoys are not fastened to
anchors’ base.
2) The reserve stability is enough to resist to titling moment caused by
environment, working load on pulling, installation or exploitation. The
water level at each balance status must be under the first water coming
point.
3) The compartments must be designed in such way to ensure that the stem
or SPM buoy are not upturned or sunk due to the towing force of anchor’s

bases in tense water and the tensile force of pipe/vertical hose under the
buoy in design storm condition.
8.3.5.2 . Problem stability

characteristics of soil sample taken from the seabed. The type of anchor must be
suitable with the base conditions and maximum design anchoring load.
The anchor’s design safety factor of adhesive force is not smaller than 2.0 in
working condition with ship fastened to SPM and 1.5 in storm working

of adhesive force should not be smaller than 1.6
For the SPM system using anchor, the anchor’s foundation has to be designed as
recognized standards. The report of driving pile or filling pile is submitted for
approval for each. The method of pile installation and the device to install pile

For anchor system using gravity base, it should calculate the anti-sliding ability,
pulling out and upturn of the base. It should consider the environmental force,
gravity and fastening load. In design, the affect of gravity base’s washing out
should be taken into consideration.
When using anchor system with drag anchor, each anchoring string must be
tested with 80% of greatest design load in 30 minutes with the witness of
supervisor. The previous calculation and actual data have to be submitted to help
to select anchoring system and number of anchoring position (see 8.1.3.2)
8.4.3. Anchor’s base
The anchor’s base items must be designed with anti-breaking safety factor as
follow:
- design storm condition without ship connected
The string is unbroken 2.5
- design storm condition with ship connected
The string is unbroken 3.0
The safety factor which is smaller than 2.5 regarding to the minimum breaking
endurance of the anchor’s base parts is allowed in exploitation condition. If the
connection string of anchor system is broken, the safety factor is equal to 2.0
regarding to minimum breaking endurance.
