DNV-led research results incorporated into international standard for offshore mooring systems
Key results from the NorMoor joint industry project (JIP), led by DNV, and supported by offshore industry partners, have been incorporated into the third edition of ISO 19901-7, the international standard for station keeping systems for floating offshore structures and mobile offshore units. The update provides the offshore industry with a more consistent reliability-based framework ...
The NorMoor joint industry project, led by DNV, has resulted in its key findings being incorporated into the third edition of the international standard ISO 19901-7 for offshore mooring systems. This update provides the offshore industry with a more consistent reliability-based framework for designing and assessing mooring systems.
The research, spanning over a decade, involved reliability-based calibration to establish more consistent requirements for various limit states, such as ultimate, accidental, and fatigue limit states. The NorMoor project brought together over 20 organizations, including major operators and suppliers, to improve the design and assessment of offshore mooring systems.
Prajeev Rasiah, Senior Vice President and Regional Director for Energy Systems at DNV, emphasized that the incorporation of NorMoor results into ISO 19901-7 showcases the importance of standards in enabling safe and reliable offshore development. The inclusion of the NorMoor methodologies in the ISO standard, applicable to the Norwegian Continental Shelf, will help operators make informed decisions regarding the life-extension of floating assets, potentially leading to significant cost savings while maintaining required safety levels.
