Four-point mooring analysis for anchor retrieval
This project comprised the analysis of an anchor-loss incident on the North Sea during a diving operation and the evaluation of the four point mooring procedure. During this project there was a high urgency for engineering advice with regards to an incident leading to anchor loss during a pipeline inspection diving operation. The mooring procedures were evaluated to avoid future […]
Ocean Cleanup’s Interceptor Mooring Analysis
Mocean has supported the Ocean Cleanup with mooring design and analysis for the interceptors in Dominican Republic, United States, Malaysia and more. Along with validation studies, design support of novel barriers and the design of buoys. During this project, Mocean supported with designing the barriers and buoys. Time domain simulations were conducted to determine the dynamic behavior of the barrier and […]
Floating installation of Arcadis Ost 1 OWF
Arcadis Ost 1 is the first commercial offshore wind project installed with a floating installation method. Parkwind Ost GmbH contracted Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) for the loadout, transport and installation of the WTGs. Mocean assisted HMC with the installation analysis. Mocean assisted HMC with wind turbine component lift analyses, determining design loads and expected motions for their novel full RNA lift method. […]
Floating solar feasibility evaluations
Multiple Floating Solar concepts were analyzed in a qualitative assessment during support of TNO’s reviewing process towards HKN. An MCA was performed for five different concepts to evaluate the feasibility in different aspects; the floaters robustness, the interconnections’ robustness, the mooring systems robustness, risk of fouling, access and egress and finally the required footprint area. By doing this, […]
