Abstract
Catenary anchor legs mooring (CALM) buoy offloading system
is widely used in offshore oil and gas exploitation engineering.
Proper prediction of the motion response of CALM systems is very
important to the fatigue analysis of offloading pipelines and the
design of mooring lines. Numerical models of a CALM system in
survival and operation conditions will be established in this paper,
and motion characteristics of the buoy and its sensibility to
environmental factors, as well as performance of slender bodies are
derived. More importantly, the shuttle tanker’s stability in plane and
the risk of its collision with other floating bodies are focused on in
this paper. All of the conclusions will provide recommendation for
designing in practical engineering.
