Sea locks that connect inland canals and rivers to the open sea are crucial links that ensure
the efficient navigation of ships. Floating bollards (FBs) are significant components of sea …

The position and inclination of the mooring legs and yoke of a soft yoke mooring system for
floating production storage and offloading in Bohai Bay were measured by full-scale …

Due to the large scale of navigation ships, the fast speed of entering the lock, and the
irregular mooring and the complicated flow conditions in the lock chamber, it is common for …

Due to the sea water intrusion and the development trend of using large-scale ships, more
stringent requirements are put forward for the safety of water delivery process and the …

This paper investigates the effect of density differences on the forces acting on a moored
vessel during lock operations, focusing on the effect of the position of the moored vessel in …

The evaluation of ship forces for planned or existing navigation lock systems is essential for
a sound design in terms of safety, cost and speed. It is a complex task that requires …

Abstract The Soft Yoke Mooring System (SYMS) is a single point mooring system for shallow
water. It is composed of a mooring framework, mooring legs, yoke, and single point, and is …

Mooring system failure can lead to largely different dynamic response of floating structures
when compared to the response under the condition of intact mooring system. For a semi …

The soft yoke mooring system (SYMS), which is widely used in China Bohai Bay and Gulf of
Mexico, is the main mooring structure used by floating production storage and offloading …

This article introduces a prototype measurement method for investigating deep-water
mooring systems. Measurement information and specifications are determined according to …
