ABSTRACT:
A system for mating an integrated deck structure with an offshore substructure is provided. The system comprises a spud can attached to a leg of the integrated deck structure and a bin attached to a leg of the substructure for receiving the spud can. The bin contains a bed comprising a medium having variable stiffness and damping characteristics which is utilized to minimize the dynamic forces that occur between the integrated deck structure and the substructure during the mating procedure.
