Aquaculture Mooring Analysis
Mooring Services
DSA analyzes aquaculture mooring systems, feed barges, and net cages under wind, wave, and current conditions to assess loads, optimize mooring arrangements, and reduce risks. DSA is experienced in designing mooring systems according to NS9415, API-RP-2SK, and other offshore mooring standards.
We provide practical engineering guidance on line sizes, anchor types, and mooring system loads based on experience and advanced modelling.
ProteusDS Software
DSA has developed the finite-element based dynamic analysis software ProteusDS. The ProteusDS mooring line and net models have been validated under a wide range of scenarios using tank tests, software benchmarks, and full-scale validation.
