Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a spread moored vessel for production and/or storing of hydrocarbons. The vessel comprises a laterally extending main deck, a symmetrical mooring arrangement for mooring the vessel to a seabed when the vessel is floating in a body of water and a longitudinal hull. The longitudinal hull further comprises a bow, a midbody, a stern, and a motion suppressing element protruding out from the longitudinal hull, below the vessel's maximum draught. The ratio between a maximum length (Lw1) and a maximum breadth (Bw1) of the longitudinal hull, at the vessel's maximum draught, is between 1.1 and 1.5. The specific hull shape with the particular length/breadth ratio and the motion suppressing element allows for favorable and uniform motions regarding of wave direction in relation to vessel heading. |
