The quasi-static analysis method introduced by API RP 2P has been accepted as a very useful mooring analysis method. However, it is presented for single-floating-body condition. Difficulties arise when using it for the analysis of a CALM system, which is comprised of two floating bodies (tanker and buoy). This paper presents an analysis procedure for a two-floating-body system based on the quasi-static procedure of API RP 2P with some modifications reflecting special characteristics of a CALM system. Finally, the analysis results of a CALM system is given to illustrate the use of this procedure.
