Dynamic Mooring Analysis

Non-linear dynamic (time domain) mooring analysis were performed on a number of Oil Rigs and FPSO's as listed below.

F.P.S.O. Glas Dowr (2003)

Semi Sub - South Seas Driller (Pride South Seas)

Semi Sub - Gavea Lifter / Sedco 709

F.P.S.O Dalia

Semi Sub - Orca

Semi Sub - Atlantic Venture

Semi Sub - Transocean Richardson

Semi Sub - Scarabeo

FPSO - Glas Dowr (2009)

Semi Sub - Sedex 701 (2009)

Jack Up - Hercules 185 (2009)

Semi Sub - Transocean Celtic Sea (2011)

These were all analysed for static moorings for extended periods of stay in Cape Town, or Walvis Bay, and assumed 10yr return wind and gust speeds, or other applicable client supplied data. These time based analysis would then predict peak line tensions, bollard reactions, fender reactions and displacements off and along the quay. Single line failure analysis would also be performed, as required by the various approval authorities.

FENDER BARGES AND DOCKING FRAMES

Triton has also designed numerous fender barges and docking frames, customised to the specific quay, so as to maintain the required fendered distance off the quay. Many of these frames are semi submersed to allow the semi submerged hull of the rig to bear directly against the frame which in turn, bears directly against the quay wall, at that same level.
