Join us for the Intermoor mooring seminar - UK
Seminar topic: How to deliver complex greenfield mooring installations
This technical seminar explores how an integrated approach to mooring design, engineering, vessel strategy, and offshore execution can reduce risk and improve project outcomes.
Date: Wednesday, 30th September 2026
Time: 08:30 – 12:00 followed by lunch
Location: Intermoor, Tern Place House, Tern Place, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, AB23 8JX
Seminar outline
Drawing on proven project experience, Intermoor's specialists will examine the complete mooring installation lifecycle, from concept development and engineering through to offshore installation and hook-up.
Attendees will gain insights into current industry trends and the challenges associated with complex greenfield developments, including deeper water developments and increasingly complex site conditions.
The seminar will also showcase collaborative vessel strategies, including alliance approaches that provide greater flexibility and certainty for floating offshore installations.
Technology and innovation spotlight
The technical sessions will showcase innovations in station keeping and heading control operations, including approaches to optimising vessel positioning to minimise non-productive time.
Participants will gain technical insight into the analysis and operation of in-line tensioning systems for deep-water mooring projects, highlighting the engineering considerations that support safe and efficient installation campaigns.
Why and who should attend?
Supported by practical project examples, industry discussion and lessons learned from the field, the seminar offers a valuable opportunity to deepen technical knowledge, exchange perspectives with industry peers and explore proven approaches to delivering complex mooring installations.
Ideal for developers, operators, marine contractors, and engineering professionals involved in floating offshore wind, oil and gas, and other offshore infrastructure projects.
