The time simulation of motion responses of dolphin-moored BMP in waves is presented The equation of motion based on Cummin's theory of impulse responses are employed, and solved in time domain by using the Newmark β method. The hydrodynamic coefficients and first order wave exciting forces involved in the equations are obtained from a three-dimensional panel method in the frequency domain. The second order wave drift forces and mooring forces for dolphin systems are taken into account, As for numerical example, time domain analyses are carried out for a BMP in irregular wave condition.
