Abstract

Computational systems have been developed to help the BGL-1 crew to perform safe mooring procedures. They calculate the deformed catenary configuration of all mooring lines, and simulate the pipeline launching operation itself, regarding the subsea interferences and the local environmental conditions. An onboard real case validation test was carried out and a comparison between the two systems was evaluated, with good agreement between the results of several mooring line parameters.
