Given that the scope of stochastic programming is to suggest good decisions and not to estimate probability distributions, we demonstrate in this paper how to numerically evaluate which properties of random variables are more important to capture in a stochastic programming model. Such analysis...

On 5 October 2001, a diplomatic conference adopted the IMO convention on the control of harmful anti-fouling systems on ships by consensus. This convention states a global prohibition on the application of organotin compounds which act as biocides in anti-fouling systems on ships by 1 January...
Consumers and food authorities are, to an increasing extent, concerned about factors such as the origin of food, how it is produced, and if it is healthy and safe. There are methods for general quality control to map the safety and nutritional value; however there is a need for suitable analytical...

Current maritime systems are to a large extent based on legacy analog VHF radios for ship-to-shore communications near port waters, and relatively low bandwidth digital satellite communications (SatCom) for long-range ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications. The cost of bandwidth for SatCom...
Model test estimation of quadratic transfer functions (QTFs) is investigated for slowly varying wave drift excitation on a large moored ship in shallow water. Cross-bi-spectral analysis in irregular waves is used. A numerical study is run first, with a known, synthetical QTF model characterized by a...
The aim of the project has been to establish methodology and theoretical framework for separating the acute toxic effect of oil droplets and dissolved fraction of oil dispersions. The project is based on environmental modeling tools and their ability to predict the concentrations of dissolved and...
SINTEF has calculated the spreading and deposition of 226Ra associated with discharges of produced water to sea from Norwegian offshore installations in the North Sea. The calculated concentration levels are compared to ambient environmental levels from presence of other sources (natural or...
Tidligere STF66 F02013I forbindelse med oljesøl i strandsonen etter skipet ”Green Ålesund”s forlis utenfor Bleivika i Haugesund kommune, Rogaland er det foretatt strandsoneundersøkelser på lokaliteten og en referanselokalitet i Stemmevika litt lengre nord. På begge lokaliteter ble både sprutsone og...
