TRANSPORT & INSTALLATION ANALYSIS

We document compliance to voyage and transport specific installations:

• The following transport analyses can be carried out:
  • Seafastening. We conduct detailed seafastening analysis to design and verify the structural integrity of securing arrangements. This ensures that the cargo remains fixed and secure on the vessel's deck throughout the marine voyage. Our analysis includes assessing forces from vessel motions and designing robust lashing and support structures.
  • Bollard Pull. For towing operations, we perform bollard pull calculations to determine the required towing force. This ensures the correct tug vessel is selected, optimizing fuel consumption and ensuring a safe towing speed is maintained. An example of evaluation of wind speed limits for various scenarios of bollard pull requirements can be seen here.
  • Seakeeping studies. Our seakeeping studies predict a vessel's motion in various sea states. This analysis is crucial for determining safe operating windows, minimizing motion-related risks to the cargo, and ensuring crew and equipment safety. An example of operability limits for various ship speeds and criteria can be seen here.
  • Cross sectional loads. We evaluate cross-sectional loads on lifting components and structural members during lifting and lowering operations. This is vital for designing safe lifting plans and verifying the integrity of rigging and lifting points.
• The following installation analysis can be carried out:
  • Launch & Recovery. We develop detailed operational launch and recovery procedures for marine assets which minimizing risks to personnel and equipment during deployment and retrieval. Planning can be carried out for restricted and weather unrestricted operations. Alpha factors are in place to reduce a numerical obtained design limit to an operational limit to include the uncertainty of the weather forecast.
  • Cable installations. We solve technical queries related to cable pull-in and cable routing inside foundations and substations (route engineering, cable transport, load-out, and more).
