... their reliability in multiple scenarios. Because much larger hawser forces occur during sudden changes of wind direction than during steady-state storm conditions, fully-coupled hydrodynamic analyses and simulations were conducted for a 420,000 DWT tanker connected to a single anchor leg mooring (SALM) buoy when...

...Abstract Abstract Rope failure due to axial compression fatigue was found in two recent rope investigations. One of these was an HMPE mooring line on a gas carrier and the other was a nylon SPM hawser. In both incidents, the unusual rope design, with very long rope and strand lay lengths...

.... The coupled TLP/DTV TAD system is analyzed in 1, 10 and 100-year return period environments. It is shown that the DTU and DTV vessel can be safely moored together by hawsers without collision in up to 10-year return cyclonic storm events. This means that the mooring system operability of up to 99.97...

... Abstract Tandem transfer of crude oil and condensate in dynamic marine conditions has a long history with much accrued experience. Initial systems relied simply on a hawser connection, which was subsequently improved with the advent of Dynamic Positioning Systems. The new requirement...

... Abstract This work aims to investigate the performance of double-braided hawsers manufactured with different kinds of raw material in order to achieve experimental results to confirm that hybrid ropes - a polyester jacket and a polyamide (nylon) core - may potentially present a service life...

... ABSTRACT Located in the South China Sea, the WEIZHOU SINGLE POINT MOORING (SPM) is a fixed structure standing in 37.5 m water depth in an area where the risk of typhoon is significant. Connected to the near-by platform by sea-line, it is designed to permanently moor, by hawser, a 174,000 DWT...
