.... Introduction Passing ships create disturbances in the water which result in forces on other ships and floating structures. Such hydrodynamic forces can result in high mooring forces and unacceptable motions of the moored vessels. In extreme cases, mooring lines of ships have parted which in one case, see NTSB...

Introduction In recent years several new generation DP vessels have been contracted to undertake deepwater completion operations rather than use the conventional moored vessel option. The decision to use the DP vessel is based on the operational...

..., which involves simple calculation, in contrast with more complex calculation procedures. INTRODUCTION The problem of predicting the low frequency motions of moored vessels has primarily concentrated on the calculation of the second order wave drift forces that provide the excitation for such motions...

.... The vessel has natural frequencies in surge, sway and yaw Within a range that may be excited ~ynamically by low- frequency wave ~rift forces or wind gusting. Typical natural frequencies vary from, say, 0.01-0.02 Hz for a tension leg platform or catenary-moore~ vessel, to perhaps 0.001 Hz for the fishtailing...

... the second order wave drift forces acting on the moored vessel in head waves have been expanded to the low frequency surge displacement and surge velocity. The wave damping can be defined by taking into account the dependence on velocity of the second order wave drift forces. To verify the results, model...

... ABSTRACT This paper discusses methods for calculating wind and current-induced steady loads on moored vessels. An analysis of existing wind tunnel data was used to develop anew, generally-applicable calculation method for wind loads that accounts for individual vessel characteristics...

... Abstract Safe mooring of structures such as construction vessels, crane barges or pipe laying barges in shallow, unprotected waters presents unique problems. This is a consequence of the limited allowable horizontal excursion of the moored vessel due to relatively small displacement capability...
