Floating offshore platforms face enormous loads on their mooring systems, often resulting in high capital expenditures to ensure safe and reliable station-keeping. The OR-CA platform can address this challenge by acting as a dynamic surface anchor capable of exerting large bollard pull forces, thereby reducing peak loads on mooring lines. Its effectiveness in load reduction increases with wave height, meaning it provides the greatest support under the most demanding conditions. When high winds and rough seas generate extreme forces on the moorings, the OR-CA surface anchor delivers a counterforce that significantly lowers the risk of system failure, ultimately reducing costs and enhancing operational safety for floating offshore installations.
