Moored platforms
Moored platforms are large structures used in offshore environments, such as oil and gas extraction or wind energy, designed to stay in a fixed position over a specific location in the water. They are anchored to the seabed using mooring lines or chains that allow some movement but keep the platform stable against waves, currents, and wind. This stability is essential for safe operations and maintenance. Moored platforms come in various types, including fixed platforms anchored directly to the seabed and Floating Production Systems that use dynamic positioning. They enable production and research activities in deep or challenging marine areas while maintaining a secure, stable position.
