Theoretical and Experimental Study of Heading Stability and Heading Control of a Turret-Moored FPSO

The behaviour and characteristics of a turret-moored FPSO subjected to loading from waves, wind and current are investigated. Of particular importance is to find out if fishtailing instabilities may occur, and if such instability can be disclosed by simple criteria involving basic parameters of the...
