The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) had led the effort to deliver a comprehensive set of Guidance Notes for the use of synthetic ropes in offshore mooring applications. Information obtained by ABS at a recent Petrobras deepwater project significantly contributed to the development of the Guidance Notes. In this project, Petrobras used synthetic rope for its taut-leg mooring system for its Campos Basin P-27 semi-submersible floating production unit.
