Summary

A mooring system, thrusters, a dynamic positioning system or a combination of these elements is critical for the station-keeping of a floating structure in various environmental conditions involving wind, waves and current. Thus, position keeping and motion control are both required to enable the functional and operational requirements of ship-shaped offshore installations to be met. The analysis of the fluid dynamic behaviours of offshore installation structures above sea level, which are subjected to wind, involves a different set of complications from the analogous analysis of submerged parts, which are subjected to waves and current.
