Exclusive Discount Inside!: Modern mooring bollards are benefiting from technological advancements in materials and design.

A three-year research programme is under way in the UK to tackle the complex challenge of modelling the behaviour of mooring and riser systems when designing floating installations for ultra-deepwater ...

The mooring line can be made up of synthetic fiber rope, wire and chain or a combination of the three. Environmental factors - wind, waves and currents - determine which materials make up the mooring ...

Synthetic fibre ropes are increasingly employed in a variety of marine operations, from offshore wind turbines to deepwater mooring systems, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio, flexibility ...

Floating production facilities are not likely to be going anywhere soon. As operators move into ever deeper waters for increased production, focus is on reducing CAPEX and OPEX costs for the future.

Wind turbines must move farther offshore to gain greater efficiency. But the challenges associated with doing so are significant. At the Dutch village of Den Oever, just north of Amsterdam, the A7 ...
