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 is composed of several modular floating tanks and barges. The floating tanks are self-stable and designed for storage of oil and hydrocarbon material. The barges provide platforms for equipment and workers quarters, and enclose the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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...
