Mooring Line Failure Detection of a Single Point Mooring System: a Model-Based Approach

Infant mortality is a significant problem in mooring design. The objective of this thesis is to design a generic fault detection system for mooring line failures, which can accurately detect a mooring line failure within a certain time frame. The research is done through Catenary Arm Leg Mooring (CALM) buoy systems, as this thesis is a Proof of...
