Projects

FOWT Platform design
ECO TLP
Mocean supports maturing the design of a deep water floating wind platform for ECO TLP. The support includes floater design, improvements on the mooring system, overhaul of the installation methodology and development platform-specific cost modelling, as well as a scale-model test campaign performed at MARIN.
Mocean leads the technical package for this innovative project, which has included responsibility for the process to receive Approval In Principle and certification of non-site specific FEED design with ABS.

Pipeline repair - Midline Tie-in
Non-disclosed
Mocean supported the client with an integrated mooring and pipe-lay analysis to improve workability determination of the overall operation. Detailed analysis was required by narrow margins due to pipeline corrosion and a sensitive overall system.

Heave plate hydrodynamic verification using CFD
CFD Validation
Heave plates are widely used in the industry to influence behavior of floating bodies. This includes e.g. reducing platform motions for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines.
At Mocean we recognize the benefits of correctly understanding and representing their influence in our analyses. Using OpenFOAM this study verified accurate representation of the hydrodynamic coefficients of a heave-plate design.

Ocean Cleanup's Interceptor Mooring Analysis
Ocean Cleanup
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.

Feasibility analysis for offshore offloading of ammonia
MP2X
Comprehensive analysis of feasibility of offloading liquid refrigerated ammonia using a CALM buoy. Including landfall, pipelines, buoy and mooring, and offloading hoses. Considering technology state-of-the-art and cost modelling for the overall system.

LTE feasibility study for a Buoy
BP
Detailed analysis of CALM Buoy mooring fatigue and chain induced seabed scour impact analysis.
