Project Abstract
The AMS-FLOW project looks at mooring and anchoring of Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) and its dependence on metocean conditions, soil conditions, supply chain constraints, costs and other parameter. AMS-FLOW offers improvements to metocean characterisation methodologies to ensure a precise understanding of design conditions. Evidence-based solutions will be put forward to use more synthetic mooring lines (moving away from the heavy reliance on steel chain). The project aims to produce outputs including; a new metocean analysis method, novel LRD enhanced mooring arrangement, high-quality anchor performance data and novel anchor design and economic and early-stage Anchoring & mooring selection toolkit.
