The performance of two hybrid mooring systems applied on a semi-submersible are studiedexperimentally and numerically. Single mooring model calibration tests werecarried out first to check static tension-displacement characteristics and the experimental results were in good agreement with target values. Afterwards, the generated wave in wave basin and mooring system model were carefully calibratedandthe measured results matchedwell with numerical values. Finally, irregular model tests, which aims to measure the dynamics of semi-submersible andmooring system in one hundred year sea state in South China Sea, were conducted. The experimental results considered Beam Sea, Heading Sea and Quarter Sea states, the waves weresimulated in the wave basin by JONSWAP spectrum. The concerned motion responses of semi-submersible and mooring tensions were recorded and compared with fully coupled dynamic analysis results.
