Floating Jetty with Semi-Submersible – Mooring Analysis

Description:
– Time-domain mooring analysis of the Crystal 238 and Mermaid barges forming a floating jetty, with a semi-submersible vessel alongside.
– Hydrodynamic modelling of both barges and the semi-submersible in OrcaWave, integrated with coupled OrcaFlex simulations.
– Assessment of barge-only and semi-submersible alongside configurations under wind, wave and current loading.
– Evaluation of mooring line tensions, fender loads, and movements and rotations of the floating jetty and semi-submersible.
– Calculation of loads on fourteen spud piles and verification of pile capacities at high and low tide.
– Verification of mooring line strength against minimum breaking loads.
