Kongsberg Maritime reports that it has reached the next stage in its efforts to advance the mooring of offshore floating structures through the development of simplified mooring solutions. Building on its patent-pending integrated tensioning and remote pull-in technologies, the company is now focused on reducing cost, complexity, and environmental impact across the mooring system lifecycle.
While these innovations support the company’s strategy in support of the industrialization of the floating offshore wind sector, these innovative methods are fully applicable to other offshore sectors, including oil and gas. The company continues to collaborate with industry partners and vessel designers to future-proof fleets – equipping them to take on high-volume offshore installation demands.
The latest developments center on minimizing mooring components and enabling future layouts that avoid active tensioning equipment in permanent systems. The solution provides a controlled, vessel-based connection method that compensates relative motions between the floater and vessel. Mooring lines can be safely installed within an expanded weather window, utilizing
