Development of Inclined Taut Mooring System

Dublin Offshore were engaged by a leading fibre supplier for the synthetic rope industry to develop a new concept of station keeping system in partnership with a Tier 1 floating wind platform developer.
This project investigated the use of a high modulus synthetic mooring line in combination with Dublin Offshore’s proprietary LRD technology to enable the use of high modulus ropes for an inclined taut mooring for a semi-submersible platform. The result is reduced load, reduced mooring spread, reduced part count all leading to significant cost reduction.
