The paper presents model tests with a floating hydrocarbon storage facility performed in SINTEF Ocean’s basin. The system may be considered a very large floating structure with a footprint of 300m × 310m. Hydrocarbons are stored into independent tanks, which are soft moored to a modular floatin...

Concern for load analysis and structural design of offshore renewable energy devices. Attention shall be given to the interaction between the load and structural response of fixed and floating installations taking due consideration of the stochastic nature of the ocean environment. Aspects related t...
