Model tests for global design verification of floating production systems in depths beyond 1000m–1500m cannot be made directly at reasonable scales. Truncation of mooring line and riser models, software calibration, as well as extrapolation and transformation to full depth and full scale, are required. Here, the first two of the above three items are addressed. The paper emphasizes the important matters to be taken into account. The choice of proper procedures for the set-up and the interpretation, and consistent and well documented methods, are essential. A case study with a deep-water semisubmersible is presented. In general, good agreement between model test results and analytical results from time-domain coupled analysis of the floater system responses is found.
