This Technical Note presents the results of an investigation of hopper dredge mooring design. Accurate prediction of forces a buoy transmits and a mooring must withstand is critical to design of a single point mooring (SPM) system. As part of an effort under the Dredging Research Program to assess the feasibility of a single point mooring buoy for hopper dredge direct pumpout, the Chesapeake Division of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) calculated the mooring loads generated by the US Army Corps of Engineers large class hopper dredge Wheeler under a variety of wind, current, and wave conditions.
