Objective: Collect, store and analyse in service harsh weather operational data for selected case vessels (ferry and offshore vessel). Use operational data to improve 6 DOF simulation models. Short WP description: Prepare case vessel specific test programs for studies of manoeuvring performance in harsh...

...building gigantic traditional production platforms – and in new materials. The biggest Norwegian concrete gravity platforms (Condeep) have become an icon of the Norwegian continental shelf. During the 80s, however, the petroleum industry in Norway and in other countries moved to depths that demanded new...

SINTEF is a research institute without teaching activities by itself. Instead, we supervise master and PhD students. This not only allows us to explore new research ideas but is also central in our efforts to make open-source reservoir simulation tools. Mimetic methods are promising discretizations on...

We are headquartered in Norway with 30,000 employees worldwide, and are listed on the...

...det enda tydeligere at nullutslipp ikke er nok. Om vi stoppet alle CO₂-utslipp i morgen, ville jordkloden allikevel ha et klimaproblem, sier Marika Andersen i Bellona. Hun er en av dem som nylig fulgte klimaforhandlingene i Paris på nært hold. Til daglig jobber hun ved Bellonas europakontor i Brussel med...

The main objective is to develop a knowledge-fundament, capacities and solutions on bio-fouling, bio-fouling control, bio-fouling loads and bio-fouling sensors dedicated to net constructions Background Marine biofouling is the undesirable accumulation of organisms on submerged surfaces, which poses a...

...is aligned with and standing on the shoulders of the actual xPS, but goes beyond them to more precisely address the specific high-tech challenges, better and in more detail. But what is the ideal factory? The ideal factory will be attractive value added. Both is important: Efficient and innovative manufacturing...
