Optimoor 6.8 is an industry-standard software package for the static and dynamic analysis of mooring systems for ships (tankers, bulk carriers, LNG carriers) and offshore floating structures (FPSOs, barges, floating docks). Used by naval architects, port engineers, and marine consultants worldwide, it performs rigorous calculations to predict vessel motions, line tensions, and fender loads under the combined effects of wind, current, waves, and tide. Optimoor is essential for designing new mooring arrangements, assessing the safety of existing berths, and ensuring compliance with international guidelines such as OCIMF MEG4 and PIANC.

 Core Functional Capabilities of Optimoor 6.8

• Static & Quasi-Static Mooring Analysis
  Analyze the equilibrium position of a moored vessel under constant environmental loads (wind, current). The software calculates the resulting steady-line tensions, loads on bollards and fenders, and the vessel's offset from the berth, which is critical for determining safe working envelope.

• Frequency-Domain Dynamic Analysis
  Assess the vessel's dynamic response to wave action. This capability is crucial for exposed berths or offshore locations, where wave-induced motions can significantly increase line loads. It predicts low-frequency drift motions and wave-frequency responses.

• Comprehensive Environmental & Vessel Modeling
  Model complex real-world conditions. Users can define multi-directional wind and current profiles, irregular wave spectra, and detailed vessel particulars (including hull form and windage areas). The software includes extensive libraries of ropes, chains, wires, and fenders.

• Compliance Checking & Reporting
  Automatically check designs against major industry standards. Optimoor can evaluate mooring arrangements against the safety factors and acceptance criteria of OCIMF MEG4, ISO 3913, and other guidelines, generating professional, detailed calculation reports for submission to clients, port authorities, and classification societies.

The Optimoor Standard in Marine Mooring

Mooring failure can lead to catastrophic accidents, environmental damage, and major financial loss. Optimoor 6.8 provides the proven, reliable engineering analysis needed to mitigate these risks. Its comprehensive approach, combining static and dynamic analysis with rigorous code checking, makes it the trusted tool for designing safe ports, terminals, and offshore installations. For any engineering task involving the restraint of a floating vessel, Optimoor delivers the confidence that comes from precise, standards-compliant calculation.
