On the Extreme Value Analysis of the Response of a Turret Moored FPSO

One of the standardized procedures used in the design of floating systems and their mooring and production lines is the so-called short-term design approach where the system is analyzed for some specific extreme environmental conditions. Along with this procedure, a nonlinear time-domain coupled dynamic analysis, considering the floater and its risers and mooring lines, can nowadays be incorporated as a feasible part of the design practice. One …
