Offshore Mooring Systems Market Report 2025

The offshore mooring systems market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.79 billion in 2024 to $1.86 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to deepwater exploration and production, rise in offshore wind energy projects, increase in floating production systems, focus on safety and environmental protection, government initiatives for offshore development, globalization of offshore exploration, rapid development of offshore infrastructure.

The offshore mooring systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.28 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emergence of floating solar farms, focus on reducing carbon footprint, enhanced monitoring and control systems, focus on predictive maintenance, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) dominance, expansion of floating LNG facilities. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in mooring designs, dynamic positioning systems, advancements in offshore drilling technologies, pre-laid mooring systems, integration of automation and robotics, strategic partnerships and collaborations.

The growing demand for energy is anticipated to drive the growth of the offshore mooring systems market in the coming years. Energy refers to the electricity and power generated from natural resources. Offshore mooring systems are essential for floating wind systems, as they enhance energy extraction and optimize the production and transmission of power through cables and umbilicals. Consequently, the rising demand for energy is leading to increased requirements for offshore mooring systems. For example, in July 2024, the International Energy Agency, an autonomous intergovernmental organization based in France, projected that global electricity demand would rise by about 4% in 2024, compared to a 2.5% growth rate in 2023. Thus, the escalating demand for energy is propelling the growth of the offshore mooring systems market.

The depletion of oil reserves is expected to stimulate growth in the offshore mooring systems market in the future. Depleting oil reserves refer to the gradual decline or exhaustion of economically viable and recoverable quantities of crude oil and petroleum in specific oil fields or regions. Offshore mooring systems are vital for enhancing the extraction process and operational efficiency of oil platforms as oil reserves diminish. For example, in April 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a government agency in the United States, reported that U.S. natural gas proved reserves increased by 10%, rising from 625.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) at the end of 2021 to 691 Tcf at the end of 2022, marking a new record for the second consecutive year. Therefore, the depletion of oil reserves is driving the growth of the offshore mooring systems market.

Technological advancements are a significant trend gaining traction in the offshore mooring systems market. Leading companies in this sector are focusing on creating innovative technological solutions to enhance their market position. For example, in July 2024, Blackfish Engineering, a UK-based manufacturing firm, launched the C-Dart mooring system, which removes the necessity for operational personnel to manage heavy mooring lines. This system is designed to quickly connect various floating structures - such as wave and tidal energy converters, offshore wind farms, floating solar platforms, and aquaculture - by utilizing gravity, buoyancy, and rope tension to facilitate an automated, contact-free connection process. Its rapid connect and disconnect capabilities significantly reduce offshore operational time, thus lowering overall costs and downtime in renewable energy projects. Constructed from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant materials, the C-Dart system is engineered to withstand harsh ocean conditions, extending its service life while minimizing maintenance requirements.

Major players in the offshore mooring systems market are launching innovative systems like automatic actuation systems, focusing on safety measures during emergencies. For instance, in April 2022, Gall Thomson introduced PODx, an automatic actuation system designed to enhance safety in FPSO tandem offloading and offshore operations. This system remotely releases mooring hawser chains under full load within milliseconds, reducing risks to personnel and equipment. Its design allows for easy reset and reusability after activation, contributing to cost-effectiveness and safety for operators.

In January 2024, Yinson Holdings Bhd, a Malaysia-based integrated service provider, acquired London Marine Group for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Yinson's capabilities in delivering innovative solutions for the oil and gas industry, specifically in the realm of offshore production vessels. London Marine Group Limited (LMG), a UK-based marine service company, specializes in designing offshore mooring systems.

Offshore mooring systems are specifically designed to secure boats by tying them to submerged anchoring points positioned away from the dock or shoreline. These systems play a crucial role in positioning and stabilizing floating production and storage units in offshore operations.

The offshore mooring systems domain include various types such as single-point mooring, taut leg system, semi-taut leg system, spread mooring, dynamic positioning, and others. Single point mooring involves a floating buoy anchored offshore, facilitating the handling of liquid cargo. Anchoring methods encompass suction anchors, vertical load anchors, drag embedment anchors, among others, catering to operations in shallow and deep water. These mooring systems find applications across floating production storage and offloading, floating liquefied natural gas, spar platforms, tension leg platforms, semi-submersible platforms, and various other offshore setups.
