Abstract: Tension leg platform (TLP) is an important type of deepwater floating platform which has not been applied in the South China Sea. We analyze buoyancy and stability performance of a TLP with MOSES software, estimate towing resistance and check the results according to the related rules. The results can give reference to the design of TLP.
