A mooring system for a semisubmersible tender which comprises a deck, a shape that results in a combined environmental load of less than 1000 kips in a 100-year extreme weather condition, a plurality of supports connected to the deck, a plurality of pontoons connecting to the supports, at least two hawsers for connecting the tender to a production platform, each having adequate elasticity to accommodate the wave frequency between the production platform and the tender, and adequate stiffness to synchronize the average and low frequency movement between the production platform and the tender under an environmental load produced during a storm having a designation of up to a 10-year storm in the tendering position, connectors securing each hawser, a hawser guidance system; and an at least 8-point mooring system with each mooring lines consisting of: a first length of steel wire rope; a length of polymer rope secured to the first length of steel wire rope; a second length of steel wire rope secured to the polymer rope; and creating global equilibrium between the production platform's mooring system and the at least 8 point mooring system of the tender.

Mooring system for a tender for production platforms

A mooring and tender system comprising: a deck; a shape that results in a combined environmental load of less than 1000 kips in a 100-year extreme weather condition; a plurality of supports connected to the deck; a plurality of pontoons connecting to the supports, at least two hawsers for connecting the tender to a production platform, each having adequate elasticity to accommodate the wave frequency between the production platform and the tender, and adequate stiffness to synchronize the mean and low frequency movement between the production platform and the tender under an environmental load produced during a storm having a designation of up to a 10-year storm in the tendering position, connecting means securing each hawser; a hawser guidance system; an at least 8-point mooring system with each mooring lines consisting of: a first length of steel wire rope; a length of polymer rope secured to the first length of steel wire rope; a second length of steel wire rope secured to the polymer rope; and means for creating global equilibrium between the production platform's mooring means and the at least 8 point mooring system of the tender.
