Table H.2__ Accidental loads for multiple hooks Number of mooring Total accidental mooring _—Scenario for derivation of total mooring point hooks per mooring point load as multiple of load from mooring line MBL point (N) the factored rated hook SWI (or factored rated MBL of vessel's mooring line, where appropriate) z 18x 1.18=24 1x 0.8 + 1 x MBL = line on one mooring hook at MBL and the other at ship's winch design _brake holding load 3 3 x 0.8 x MBL = lines on each hook at ship's winch design brake holding load 4 30x 118=35 3 x 0.8 x MBL + 1x 0.6 x MBL =3 x MBL lines fon each hook at ship's winch design brake holding load, one line at ship’s winch brake setting, 3 24x 118 A comparison of factored design load for a mooring structure with two, three or four hooks is illustrated in Table H.3. In a theoretical situation where mooring forces were the dominant consideration in determining structural capacity, this suggests the following in this hypothetical example. +The assessment of mooring actions in this case results in the lowest factored. loads compared to both the extreme mooring-equipment limited load case and the accidental load case. However, this result depends on the specific circumstances and environment. This will be different in, for example, @ more exposed location, or with a different ship, or with a different berth or mooring layout + The extreme mooring-equipment limited load case gives factored loads Greater than those of the assessment from mooring analysis. However, it would not in all cases be appropriate as a design case, e.g. at a sheltered location and with benign metocean conditions where the loads could not occur even in extreme events of 5 to 10 year return period + The accidental case results in the highest factored loads in this example. As noted above, Table 9 is applicable to exposed locations, subject to passing ship effects or when other scenarios of human error or equipment malfunction have been identified through risk assessment. Since the accidental case can result in very significant design loads, it is important to avoid overly conservative assumptions or accidental scenarios. 132. © © The British Standards Institution 2017
