Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a floating structure, vertically moored to seabed by a system of pre-tension tethers held in tension by the buoyancy of the hull. This method restrain vertical motions (heave, pitch and roll) but allows horizontal movements (sway, yaw and surge). The objective of the p...
