..., a floater needs material for anchors and mooring system. The floating structures are, due to their dynamic nature, also more complex to design and fabricate, especially compared with monopiles. Other aspects contributing to higher costs are dynamic cables and the increased need for maintenance...

..., whereas the mooring system provides the angular motion stability. The size of the hull can be minimised, as the weight of wind turbine that has to be compensated is relatively small. However, such a small hull is not intrinsically stable with the turbine mounted on top for towing. To circumvent this issue...

...; probable instability of anchors and all mooring system owing to seabed seismic accelerations. To avoid the "Spar" defects a new conception of platform substructure for a medium sea depth (100–200 m) is presented. In this purpose, a number of heavy pendant chains are arranged near the floating leg bottom...

... ABSTRACT: In deep and ultra deep water, the preferred mooring system for MODUs and FPS is a taut leg mooring. Due to the different loading direction on the anchor point in a taut leg mooring system compared to a catenary mooring system, a new type of anchor (vertically loaded anchor or VLA...
