Mooring Analysis from STA
One of the key areas of focus for STA is mooring analysis.  Stewart Technology Associates has helped many organizations with their installed mooring systems.  Some of the types of mooring analysis that we can provide consultancy for include; spread moored systems, single point moored systems (which can include; turrets, CALMs, SALMs, towers, submerged buoys, etc) and harbor and jetty moorings which accommodate both very large ships, small ships, dolphin interactions and passing ship issues.

STA Uses OrcaFlex for Mooring Analysis Issues
One of the reasons for STA’s strong focus on mooring analysis is the use of Orcina’s OrcaFlex.  Stewart Technology Associates has worked closely with Orcina since our inception in 1986.  Today, more than 170 organizations rely on OrcaFlex for a wide variety of design and analysis work.  OrcaFlex is a comprehensive software solution that offers STA an enormous range of analyses.

Experience, Knowledge and Technology
One of the reasons we are one of the most trusted marine consultancy firms is our experience and dedication to knowledge and technology.  Stewart Technology Associates and specifically Mr. W.P. (Bill) Stewart, P.E. has written numerous articles and technical papers and is a member of many societies in this field including:  Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. 

It should also be noted that technology is extremely important for a comprehensive mooring analysis and our consultancy team always comes prepared equipped with technology and software so that specific types of analyses can be completed, updated and that images can be shown or printed on-site.
