Hydrocarbon is a major source of energy for sustainable development. Storage of hydrocarbon products, however, requires a significant amount of land space to land-scarce countries like Singapore. This paper presents an alternative way of storing hydrocarbon in Singapore coastal waters through the in...

An innovative floating hydrocarbon storage facility (FHSF) has recently been proposed. The facility consists of several modular floating hydrocarbon storage tanks (FHSTs) surrounded by floating barges with compliant mooring system. Hydrodynamic loads on the FHST and its dynamic response are importan...

For better utilization of ocean and coastal space, hydrocarbon products can be stored in the floating tanks, which can be enclosed by barge system. The barge system can be moored through pile foundations. The tanks are moored through marine fenders connected to barges. In the system, hydrodynamic an...

A modular floating concept for oil storage is proposed. The concept, which is advantageous for space-constrained locations, is composed of several modular floating tanks and barges. The floating multi-body hydrodynamic interaction of barges are studied in this paper. In the analysis, a single barge ...

Aquaculture of Atlantic salmon in coastal and offshore locations is an operation intensive industry. This paper gives an overview of the most typical marine operations in the aquaculture of Atlantic salmon. Descriptions of these operations are introduced in the first place, which is followed by curr...

A simple method is developed to consider the energy loss (dissipation) in the sloshing flow in a liquid tank by adding “artificial damping” in a potential flow model to better predict the sloshing effects (force/moment) on the tank near the resonance. The consistency of the mechanism of the way the ...

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 i...
