General
Thrusters may be used to assist the mooring system by reducing the mean environmental forces, controlling the offshore unit's heading, damping low frequency motions, or a combination of these functions. Thruster-assisted mooring (TAM) systems can be broadly categorized into manual and automatic position control, depending on the type of thrust assist (TA) system fitted on the unit.
