## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing Single Point Mooring (SPM) systems. It allows engineers to calculate peak tension forces using `calculate_mooring_loads`, determine necessary buoy dimensions with `size_buoy`, select appropriate mooring lines via `determine_hawser_specs`, and verify operational safety with `validate_approach_departure`. The system accounts for vessel displacement, environmental conditions like wave height and wind speed, and water depth to ensure stable tanker mooring.

## Tools

### calculate_mooring_loads
Calculate peak tension forces acting on the buoy and mooring system

### determine_hawser_specs
Select the appropriate hawser properties for the tanker connection

### size_buoy
Determine the required physical characteristics of the floating buoy

### validate_approach_departure
Assess if the design allows for safe tanker approach and departure

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the mooring loads for a tanker with 150,000 tons displacement, 4m wave height, 15 knots wind, and 2 knots current.
```

**Response:** 
```
The peak tension is 4500 kN with a safety factor of 1.8.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the hawser specifications for a VLCC with a peak tension of 5000 kN and a safety margin of 2.5?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required minimum breaking strength is 12500 kN and the recommended material is Polyester.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it safe for a tanker with 12m draft to approach if the max wave height is 3m and current is 1.5 knots?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the operation is safe under these environmental conditions.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What parameters are needed to calculate mooring loads?**
You need to provide the vessel displacement, significant wave height, wind speed, and water current speed to `calculate_mooring_loads`.

**Can I check if a tanker can safely approach the buoy?**
Yes, use the `validate_approach_departure` tool by providing the vessel draft, maximum wave height, and current speed.

**How is the buoy size determined?**
The `size_buoy` tool calculates the required displacement and diameter based on the target peak tension, water depth, and vessel displacement.
