CSD Mooring Systems
On this website an overview of the mooring system and methodology of a Cutter Suction Dredge (CSD) is given. During operation the dredger moves around a spud pole by puling and slacking on the two fore sideline wires. This type of dredger is capable to dredge all kind of material and is accurate due to their movement around the spud pole.
Mooring of a Floating Container Terminal
In general, a terminal on land is the most efficient and cost-effective solution, if there is space available on land at a reasonable price. If a terminal on land is not possible, reclaiming land or building a floating terminal may be worth considering. On this website, the possibilities of a large Floating Container Terminal are examined, with an emphasis on the mooring system of such a floating structure.
FPSO Mooring Systems
The target of this website is to provide you in a just two steps the right choice of mooring systems for your Floating Prodution Storage Offloading vessel. First you have to select the area where the FPSO is roughly located. The second step is about the size of the FPSO. Then the website provides information about the right mooring system.
Mooring a Tension Leg Platform
A TLP stands for a Tension Leg Platform; an offshore platform used in the oil and gas industry. A TLP is a floating platform, which means the platform is not placed on the seabed. On this website you can find an explanation of TLPs, historical data, applications, a design methodology and a design program.
