A small and meso-scale study of the weathering properties of Garantiana crude oil has been performed at 5°C and 13°C in SINTEFs laboratory. The data are used as input for SINTEF's Oil Weathering Model (OWM) to predict the properties and behaviour of the Garantiana crude oil in a spill situation at sea...

...cargoes and try to derive additional revenue from carrying optional spot cargoes. Traditionally, models for ship routing and scheduling problems are based on fixed speed and a given fuel consumption rate for each ship. However, in real life a ship’s speed is variable within an interval, and fuel consumption...

...occupied between 1991 and 2007 in the vicinity of the WOCE A1E/AR7E section are used to investigate various aspects of the Irminger Gyre, a narrow cyclonic recirculation in the southwest Irminger Sea. Vertical sections of absolute geostrophic velocity were constructed using satellite and shipboard velocity...

The current work investigates, both with model tests and numerical calculations, the forces and turning moments experienced by a single-screw ship model in reversing mode. Model tests were carried out by Marintek, in the large towing tank of the Marine Technology Center in Trondheim, on a chemical tanker...

...a fleet of offshore supply vessels. The problem consists of determining the optimal fleet composition of offshore supply vessels and their corresponding weekly voyages and schedules. We present a voyage-based solution method for the supply vessel planning problem. A computational study shows how the...

...(Klauck, 1999) has investigated added mass on swimmers during passive gliding, and reported added mass values in a range of 30-70kg. The purpose of this study was to find added mass on human swimmers and the effects of age and genders on added mass. METHODS: 31 subjects between the ages of 12 to 36 years...

We review research on ship routing and scheduling and related problems during the new millennium and provide four basic models in this domain. The volume of research in this area about doubles every decade as does the number of research outlets. We have found over a hundred new refereed papers on this...
