This technical specification is applicable to mooring systems for floating MEC units of any size or type in any open water conditions. Some aspects of the mooring system design process are more detailed in existing and well-established mooring standards. The intent of this technical specification is to highlight the different requirements of MECs and not duplicate existing standards or processes.
While requirements for anchor holding capacity are indicated, detailed geotechnical analysis and design of anchors are beyond the scope of this technical specification.
