Abstract
An apparatus and method reducing the motions of a marine structure anchored in a body of water over a hydrocarbon drilling or production site using a spread type mooring system. The structure's motions are reduced by increasing the amplitude and altering the dynamic tension variation of the mooring system, without affecting the static response of the mooring system under static loads.
