The Effect of Additional Subsea Floater on Mooring Line Tension and Motion of CBM (Conventional Buoy Mooring) Ø 4.5 m

Abstract Single point mooring of Conventional Buoy Mooring (CBM) is an offshore mooring structure where the mooring line attached from bow of ship to CBM. Lack buoyancy on CBM needed Additional subsea floaters to increase buoyancy of CBM. Time domain simulation on Moses software version 11 used to calculate the effect of the variation number of subsea floaters to chain tension and CBM Motion. The result is a single configuration subsea floater has higher tension and extreme motion than multiple configuration subsea floaters.
