Abstract

Single Point Mooring (SPM) is of great use to offshore floating structures which are currently in use in Vietnam’s coastal waters. However, this country is facing the lack of the related guidelines and standards for analysis, simulation and design of SPM system. This fact is the rationale for this paper which is aimed to propose a procedure for computation of the effects of sea environment on a SPM system. Specifically, the procedure enables the identification of maximum load exerting on the mooring buoy. Then, such identification together with the water depth parameter enables the determination of the optimal length and diameter of the desired chain. Finally, this paper presents a primary simulation of the mooring chain system according to various water depth conditions.
