Analyze Total Stored Energy in Your Mooring System and determine your recoil risk
How prepared is your mooring system for a dynamic recoil event? Samson’s Mooring System Energy Calculator helps engineers, vessel operators, and marine safety professionals estimate the potential stored energy in
their mooring lines when under tension. This evaluation tool identifies what your system needs to be prepared for in the event of a line failure or recoil event, particularly when it encounters critical overload conditions.
By entering your vessel details and the material and lengths of both your mainline and mooring tail, this mooring safety tool calculates total system stored energy. You are then provided with the value of how much potential force your
recoil mitigation method needs to manage and control, to prevent a catastrophic event. This is a free tool and can be used to assess risk on both Samson and non-Samson systems. Use this tool to calculate key rope strength values when selecting your mooring system, and confirm that your recoil solution is fit-for-purpose.
