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 framework is described in which a manoeuvring simulator can be built up from model tests. It is applied to a modern LNG powered RORO ferry, the M/F Landegode, with model tests and computational results being used to make full-scale predictions. These predictions are tested against full-scale manoe...

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 t...

Many maritime emergency situations involve drifting vessels, and tools to predict drifting patterns have been developed by meteorology institutes, class societies and research companies. It is important to be able to predict a vessel’s drifting path and to estimate when it will drift into waters whe...

A nonlinear manoeuvring model in three degrees of freedom is presented. MARINTEK’s approach to the numerical determination of this manoeuvering model’s parameters is then shown. Finally the process of taking advanced experimental methods, and utilising MARINTEK’s numerical tools to generate an advan...
