Mooring & DP Capability Analysis

We perform detailed quayside, offshore, and in-place mooring analyses for construction vessels, installation vessels, accommodation units, and floating production systems. Our work includes anchor pattern design, line tension calculations, midline buoy specifications for crossings, vessel excursion assessments, and environmental load analysis for ULS and ALS conditions. Through FlexDeck and our proprietary mooring pattern builder and pre-tension optimiser, we can generate base cases in minutes rather than hours.

Where required, we can optimise anchor spread patterns for installation vessels, construction vessels, and floating units to minimise seabed footprint (optimised CAPEX) or reducing anchor handling time (improved OPEX). Our analysis accounts for site-specific metocean conditions, soil properties, and operational requirements to deliver efficient, fit-for-purpose anchor layouts.

We assess mooring arrangements for vessels alongside quaysides, jetties, and floating infrastructure. Our analysis covers bollard loading, fender reaction forces through time-domain analysis, environmental load combinations, and compliance with OCIMF and port authority requirements to ensure safe berthing under operational and extreme conditions for both ULS and ALS conditions.
