A mooring system consisting of two catenary type opposing mooring buoys has been designed and installed in Labadee Bay, Haiti. The mooring system was designed to accommodate Royal Caribbean International's first Voyager Class cruise ship, Voyager of the Seas, which is the largest cruise ship in the world. The paper describes the field investigations, the analyses and numerical modeling performed for establishing the design loads, the engineering design, and finally the installation of the two mooring systems by a specialized anchor-handling vessel. The focus is on the specific challenges encountered in mooring a ship of this size in a very confined area, with soft soil conditions and sudden locally generated winds.
