The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

It is designed for 25 years operation on location with catenary moorings. The unit has four columns supporting a box like upper-hull (Topside) with a moon-pool for drilling. The columns are connected by four pontoons, which form a square-shaped lower hull, all contributes to the resistance to functional and environmental loadings.
