Abstract:
The research is carried out to study the behaviour of the Deepwater Offloading Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) as well as the mooring line after combining polyester to the existing mooring line design. The first mooring line is consisting of chain and spiral strand wire which is becomes current practice in oil and gas industry. The second mooring line is designed by introducing polyester into the system. Static analysis is carried out by using lump mass method which is proposed by Wingerie (2008). There are 2 mathematical software have used for static analysis which are Mathcad and Matlab. Both of the mooring designs are then be analysed in ANSYS AQWA for dynamic analysis
