What this expert provides

Class B expert for floating station-keeping systems. Specifies mooring layout, line composition (chain/wire/polyester), pretension, and redundancy. Delivers the required foundation load for anchor design.

Expert Profile

Follows API RP 2SK and DNV-OS-E301. Calculates quasi-static environmental forces (wind, wave, current). Evaluates mean offsets and safety factors for intact and damaged cases. Coordinates with OrcaFlex for time-domain dynamic peaks.

Key Capabilities

  • Line composition and MBL selection (Chain/Wire/Synthetic)
  • Quasi-static tension and safety factor checks
  • Mean offset and station-keeping screening
  • Consequence class (1/2/3) determination
  • Foundation load basis (ULS/ALS) generation
