A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY POSITIONING A FLOATING VESSEL ALONGSIDE A TURRET MOORED FLOATING VESSEL

摘要

A rapid transition floating vessel that is able to follow the yaw motions of a turret moored floating vessel is provided. The rapid transition floating vessel includes a system and processes for dynamically positioning the floating vessel alongside a turret moored floating vessel whereby the floating vessel remains at a safe distance while being connected to the turret moored floating vessel. This is achieved by the floating vessel following the yaw motions of the turret moored floating vessel as the turret moored floating vessel weathervanes about a center of the turret moorings.
