Mooring Operational Modes

Single Point Mooring

Calm Buoy Mooring

Buoy will be moored using four or more mooring lines at equally spaced angles. The mooring lines generally have a catenary shape. The vessel connects to the buoy with a single line and is free to weathervane around the buoy.

Turret Mooring

Generally used on FPSOs and FSOs in more harsh environments. Multiple mooring lines are used, which come together at the turntable built into the FPSO or FSO. The FPSO or FSO is able to rotate around the turret to obtain an optimal orientation relative to the prevailing weather conditions.

Spread Mooring

Generally used on FPSOs and FSOs in milder environments. The mooring lines are directly connected to the FPSO or FSO at both the stern and bow of the vessel.

Catenary Mooring

Oil and gas exploration and production was conducted in shallow to deep water, the most common mooring line configuration was the catenary mooring line consisting of chain or whre rope.

Taut Leg Mooring

Exploration and production in deep to ultra-deep water. the weight of the mooring line starts to become a limiting factor in the design of ther floater. To overcome this problem new solutions were developed consisting of synthetic ropes in the mooring line (less weight) and/or a taut leg mooring system.

Tension Leg Mooring

A Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a buoyant platform held in place by a mooring system. The TLP’s are similar to conventional fixed platforms except that the platform is maintained on location through the use of moorings held in tension by the buoyancy of the hull. The mooring system is a set of tension legs or tendons attached to the platform and connected to a template or foundation on the seafloor. The template is held in place by piles driven into the seafloor. This method dampens the vertical motions of the platform, but allows for horizontal movements.
