TFI Marine
SeaSpring
What is it?
Fully tested under the most rigorous marine conditions, TFI Marine SeaSprings are polymer-based mooring components that enable mooring system designers to radically change the response of a mooring system. It consists of a durable, compressible, convoluted, ultra-strong polymer cylinder, encasing a fully marinised sliding metal structure.
How it works
The SeaSpring allows the platform response at its operating or survival loads to be tailored, resulting in substantially lower maximum loads on the mooring system. The mooring system configuration can be optimised depending on the desired performance, i.e., maximum load reduction, fatigue reduction, footprint reduction, etc.

SeaSpring
Lifetime extension
SeaSprings reduce fatigue by over 30%, extend the lifetime of the mooring system, and lower maximum loads on the mooring system.
Peak Load Reduction
Our technology reduces mooring loads by over 50%, enabling a reduction in MBL requirements for all mooring line components.
Flexible Mooring
TFI SeaSprings of varying size and stiffness can target different sea states in a mooring line, reducing ULS load and operational scenario fatigue.
Transform your mooring operations with a more sustainable and efficient solution
TFI SeaSprings are compatible with all mooring configurations, line type and wind platform. This comprehensive compatibility empowers you to enhance the performance and reliability of your mooring system across any setup, ensuring optimal results in the ever-evolving field of offshore wind energy

THE BUILD
SCALING
SeaSprings can be scaled to whatever MBL is required. The polymer design determines the load at which the SeaSpring delivers maximum performance for load & fatigue reduction. This is separate from the MBL which is determined by the metal which is determined by the metalwork.
Polymer designs for FOW typically range from ~4000kN to ~7000kN, depending on the platform and number of mooring lines. The MBL of the structure is independent of the polymer, allowing the SeaSprings MBL to match the minimum requirements for the mooring configuration, irrespective of the polymer design
