Investigation of Low-Frequency Pitch Motion Characteristics for KRISO Standard Offshore Structure (K-Semi) Moored with a Truncation Mooring System

In this study, a model test was carried out to evaluate the station-keeping performance of Korea Research Institute of the Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) standard semi-submersible, K-Semi in the Deep Ocean Engineering Basin (DOEB).The test was performed using a 1/50 scaled model with 12 mooring lines.The water depth was set to 3.2 m using a mo
