| Description |
The performance of the
floating production system depends on more directly on the performance of
the system of mooring lines and anchors rather than on the performance of a
single line or anchor. To assess and study the component and system
reliabilities for the mooring system, a “theme” Spar and its mooring system
is used for the reliability analysis. The results of this project may be
used for the evaluation and possible improvement of the design codes for FPS
mooring lines and anchors. |
