Abstract

See full text

A method for horizontal mating of multiple floating sections of an offshore platform using a single point mooring is disclosed. The single point mooring is installed at a predetermined mating site. The first section of the platform is transported to the mating site. Anchor handling vessels tow the section to the single point mooring and connect it to that mooring. Subsequent sections of the platform are then transported to the mating site while an anchor handling vessel attends to the horizontally floating moored sections. When all sections have been mated together at the mating site, the platform is disconnected from the single point mooring and towed to the installation site.
