Buoyancy and wave interaction effects generated by a large central caisson and shaped pontoons dampen heave response by as much as 50% over other large semis. The caisson also serves as a storage bay for the rise. Notable features include riser and BOP-handling systems, a deepwater self-contained mooring system and a subsea tree workshop.
