Maximum Design Condition
Maximum Design Condition : The maximum design condition is defined as that combination of wind velocity, wave height and period, current velocity, water depth and vessel offset for which the mooring system is designed. Generally the drilling unit will likely be disconnected from seafloor drilling equipment as required so that large values of offset can be tolerated. The magnitude of thee values should be known to those people responsible for the drilling unit's operation in order that abandonment of location can be achieved in a timely fashion. The maximum design condition is the concurrent collinear combination of the design wind, design wave and design current. (RP 2P)
