The nonlinear dynamic analysis of the single point mooring systems under the action of random sea waves was carried out by means of nonlinear spectral analysis. The study indicates that it is possible to solve nonlinear vibration problems by using spectral analysis directly. It is not necessary to linearize the nonlinear terms in this method so that the errors introduced by linearization can be eliminated. Therefore, this method will provide a convenient and accurate tool for solving nonlinear random vibrations.
