The joint development project on the "Samsung enhanced hull for tendon TLP", was developed using boundary conditions such as those encountered offshore West Africa, said ABS.
One of the objectives in the project was to decrease the number of tendons needed for the TLP. The resulting hull configuration requires fewer tendons for stability.
“We are very satisfied with this development because the design focuses on the issues that are critical under current market circumstances,” said SHI vice president Jong H Youn.
