Kongsberg Maritime Simplifies Offshore Mooring
Kongsberg Maritime is advancing offshore floating installations with simplified mooring solutions. Using patent-pending integrated tensioning and remote pull-in technologies, the company is cutting cost, complexity, and environmental impact across the mooring lifecycle.
Faster, Safer Installation
- Minimized components and vessel-based connections compensate for relative motion between floaters and vessels.
- Mooring lines can be installed in an expanded weather window using tensioners, simplifying installation and supporting efficient connections.
- Eliminates winches and floater-based personnel, reducing topside weight, maintenance, and improving safety.
Efficiency Gains
Combined with cross-tensioning methods, operators can remove construction stretch in fiber ropes without relying on bollard pull, cutting propulsion and engine power demand by up to 70–80% in tensioning operations.
“Our goal is to streamline offshore floater installations by simplifying every step,” said Arild Ånensen, Program Manager – Offshore Energy. “Smarter connection and tensioning methods help operators cut costs while improving safety and reliability.”
These innovations support Kongsberg Maritime’s strategy to industrialize the floating offshore wind sector and are also fully applicable to Oil and Gas. The company continues to work with industry partners and vessel designers to future-proof fleets for high-volume offshore installations.
