 Drifting |
||||
| As Mega-Float is a very large floating
structure. it would drift away without having mooring device which
keeps Mega-Float to a position.
A photograph below shows a structure called dolphin. It is fixed into position by piling to seabed. Although floating structure is moored to this dolphin, rubber fender is provided between floating structure and dolphin so that it receives the drifting force gently. |
 |
|||
| It is quite important to calculate mooring forces correctly according to configuration of Mega-Float and sea state there, since these forces are very strong. The forces by wave and current varies place to place and time to time because it is very large, and calculation of them is not an easy thing. We have developed the calculation system, which are able to analyze the influence of breakwater. | ||||
