The Specialist Committee on Deep Water Mooring Final Report and Recommendations to the 22 nd ITTC

The number of deep water moored offshore vessels is growing rapidly, and hydrocarbon fields in water depths down to 3000 m are now seriously considered for floating production development. Physical and numerical modelling of such vessels with their extensive mooring lines and risers is a challenge to the ITTC Community. So the preparation of uniform model testing and computational procedures is a highly relevant matter.
