Prepared by the Mooring Analysis Task Committee of the Ports and Harbors Committee of the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE. This Manual of Practice provides guidelines for the determination of safe mooring design practices for vessels at fixed piers and wharves in ports and harbors. Today's larger, complex ships, with greater wind exposure and deeper drafts, pose particular mooring challenges to designers, captains, and pilots. Costly mooring incidents have emphasized the need for better understanding of mooring design principles, and no single building code or standard specifically addresses the design of berthing and mooring facilities. This manual provides the necessary background to assure that designed structures are sound, adequate, and provide a safe berth for the types of vessels to be accommodated. Topics include: Mooring practice and design requirements; Mooring system components, including mooring lines, fittings and hardware, equipment, fender systems, docking aid and monitoring systems, mechanical and automated mooring systems, and shipboard equipment; Forces on moored vessels, including wind, current, passing vessels, waves, seiche and long wave effects, tide and draft changes, and ice; Mooring analysis methods, including static and dynamic analysis, as well as software and physical models; and Operational considerations, including allowable vessel movement, incidents and breakaways, and maintenance. MOP 129 primarily focuses on mooring large, ocean-going vessels at relatively protected locations, although the basic principles are applicable to small craft and more exposed locations. Designers of port and harbor facilities, as well as owners and managers, will welcome this compact reference to mooring analysis and safe, efficient, fixed-mooring practice.

Wind energy is one of the most promising energy sources, but it is currently limited to land and sea locations with a maximum depth of 50m. This leaves large areas of uninterrupted high seas unused, which can provide greater capacity than land-based and fixed offshore wind farms. Floating offshore wind farms (FOWF) can be deployed in deeper water depths away from the coast. Therefore, benefit from a greater volume and more consistent wind, resulting in a higher capacity factor, greater flexibility in the installation location, and no restrictions on the size of the wind turbine. One of the main challenges faced by FOWF is that dynamic power cables are exposed to severe load conditions during their design life. While traditional submarine cables are installed on the seabed, FOWF's cables remain in free span, having floating components that enable them to move with floating objects. Cables continue to be subjected to extreme dynamic loads during their whole design life; therefore, they may suffer mechanical damage in various parts. This thesis covers the preliminary study of the dynamic cables and their mechanical behaviour for the floating offshore platforms. The cable configuration has been designed considering extreme environmental conditions and then checked with normal sea state. In addition, the mooring system has been taken into account during the dynamic analysis: a preliminary design of the mooring line was considered and optimized for the project specific environmental condition. It also provides information about the challenges faced in developing and modelling designs, and finally, it defines future research for comprehensive design development.
