Presented herein is a discussion of the problem of wave-induced forces on ships’ moorings, together with the details of a laboratory study of an AFDL-1 (floating drydock). The resulting mooring line forces are given. In addition, the correlations between prototype and model natural periods of surge and sway are given.
