Environment
The environmental conditions concern steady current, steady or irregular
wind field, swell and long crested irregular waves coming from arbitrary
directions. Several spectral formulations for the wind, wave and swell
are available. The water depth can be arbitrary.
Mooring systems
Three types of terminals are considered:
• SPM
The SPM terminal consists of a conventional CALM buoy which is
moored to the seabed by means of anchor chains. The tanker is

Simulation control
The following situations can be simulated:
• intact condition
• damaged condition
Output
The output of each simulation consists of a binary database containing
all samples of the calculated signals. The signals include the tanker
motions, mooring loads in all mooring legs and other interesting
quantities for the analysis of the mooring system behaviour. The system
layout is represented graphically in a schematic format to detect input
errors in an early stage. A comprehensive data processing package is
delivered with the program to view, plot and print the output results.
