Floating & Marine Systems

Mooring, motions and hydrodynamics for FPSOs, floaters and vessels — ask in plain language and Deckhand runs the analysis and returns a deliverable that shows its work.

What you can ask it to do

  • Mooring fatigue. Estimate the fatigue life of a chain or wire mooring line from its tension cycles.
  • FPSO spread mooring. Screen a spread-mooring system for line safety factors, or run the full environmental-load equilibrium.
  • Synthetic rope mooring. Screen a polyester fibre-rope mooring for service life — fatigue, creep and minimum tension.
  • Vessel motions. Estimate a vessel's motions, natural periods and motion comfort (seakeeping).
  • Stability. Check a floating platform's intact stability — GM, righting arm, wind heel.
  • OCIMF loads. Work out wind and current mooring loads on a moored tanker.
  • Hydrodynamics. Set up a diffraction and radiation model for a floating hull (OrcaWave / AQWA prep).
