Abstract:
Seaweed has become one of the economically ocean plantation that become one of the
important resource of Malaysia since 1978. Seaweed plantation has provided many benefits to
the economy and to the marine systems. To ensure that the system is reliable, design needs to
be built, a mooring simulated system should be creating. Mooring system is a system where
the mooring component will give strength to position of the system keeping the purpose of
this study is to simulate the mooring of offshore aquaculture system for ocean plantation and
investigate the safety and efficiency of the mooring system. The simulation testing will be
conduct by using Ariane software. Mooring system is used to 'anchor' to a system or vessel
itself. The static model will predict the tension and tilt at each mooring component, including
the anchor, for which the safe mass will be evaluated in terms of the vertical and horizontal
tensions. Predictions can be saved to facilitate mooring motion correction. Time dependent
currents can be entered to predict the dynamic response of the mooring. The Ariane includes a
preliminary database of standard mooring components which can be selected. The database
can be edited and expanded to include user specific components, frequently used fasteners or
unique oceanographic instruments. Once designed and tested, a draft of the mooring
components can be plotted and a list of components, including fasteners can be printed.
