Experimental Study on the Effect of Mooring Line Failure on the Hydrodynamic Behaviour of Spread Moored FPSO

This dissertation discusses on idea of performing a physical model test to study on the effect of mooring line failure on the hydrodynamic behavior of spread moored FPSO. This reasoning was initiated due to some critical situation faced by the industry with increasing rate of mooring line failure. F...
