Книга на английском языке.
This information paper supplements the Oil Companies International Marine Forum's (OCIMF) publication Cargo Guidelines for F(P)SOs and should be read along with the relevant guidance for F(P)SO heading control.
These guidelines provide recommendations to safely manage heading control operations of turret moored Floating (Production) Storage and Offloading (F(P)SO) facilities. F(P)SO heading control operations are undertaken to enable surveys, installation works, maintenance works and associated F(P)SO operations, on board or within the swing circle, often while remaining in operation.
The bollard pull that is required to maintain a defined heading is often underestimated. An underestimated bollard pull may lead to an unwanted loss of position of the F(P)SO, subsequently endangering operations that require the heading control. Additionally, insufficient consideration has been given to the operational limits at which operations should be suspended or aborted.
