Offloading hoses/flexible pipes are used to transfer compressed natural gas (CNG) from an intermediate floating CNG storage unit-floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) to CNG vessel. The floating hoses are subjected to environmental loads that are mainly waves, current, and vessel motions from...

Liquid inside a floating structure influences both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic response of the floating structure. Some examples of floating structure with internal liquid are: vessels with roll damping tanks, floating hydrocarbon storage facility, LNG tankers and etc. A floating oil storage tank...

The importance of wave-current interaction effects on the determination of mean drift forces on floating offshore structures is well documented. Wave-current interaction effects will also influence the first-order motions and loads as well as the diffracted and radiated waves around the structure...

Station keeping analysis is an important activity in the early stages of any vessel/DP project that eventually determines the machinery and thruster configuration and thruster size selection. In order to obtain reliable results, it is crucial to apply engineering tools that realistically represent...

Wave-current interaction effects may significantly influence the mean wave drift forces on a structure as well as the motion responses and wave elevation around the structure. Additionally, the drift force may be used to estimate the wave drift damping of a moored structure. A new numerical...
