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.

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.
