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.
