Baseline Condition of Existing Mooring Systems

When assets are sold or when there has been a change in the system state, the current condition of the existing mooring system should be established. In addition, the known risks and associated causes arising from each of the earlier lifecycle phases should be addressed as well. It is essential to possess the original design reports, documents, original and as-is plans, specifications, survey records from fabrication, installation and past service. The operator should confirm that any assumptions made are reasonable and information gathered is both accurate and representative of actual conditions at the time of the assessment.
