What happened
DNV led the incorporation of findings from the NorMoor joint industry project into ISO 19901-7:2026. This international standard governs station-keeping systems for floating offshore structures and mobile offshore units. The revision establishes a reliability-based framework for designing and assessing offshore mooring systems.

Why it matters
The updated standard aims to reduce costs while maintaining required safety levels for floating offshore installations. Reliable design and assessment of these mooring systems are essential because failures can lead to serious financial and environmental consequences. The standard reflects over a decade of collaborative research involving operators, manufacturers, and regulators across the offshore energy value chain.
