Solutions for Operators

All operators require a safe operating environment for their crew, passengers and/or cargo, but how can this be achieved?  Ship Dynamics can help in a number of areas.

Ship Dynamics can offer

• an assessment of both the proposed vessel and operating route during the feasibility stage, to ensure the two are compatible with operational requirements;
• vessel monitoring once in service, that can provide immediate feedback for crew to enable a response when motion limits are being exceeded.  Also providing reporting documentation for management that can provide the operator the knowledge that the vessel is being operated within limits;
• a benchmarking service that assesses an existing vessel on an existing route based on motion criteria limits and comparing it with a new vessel. Often knowing a new vessel will perform as well or better than an existing vessel is good news for an operator.

The potential benefit to the operator will be

• better route planning;
• improved vessel motion characteristics;
• an understanding of the motion limits for cargo;
• a better idea of the vessel profitability through its operability result;
• improved vessel selection;
• an understanding of where they stand with current vessels through benchmarking;
• an idea of the wave heights that will restrict their operations through a limiting sea state analysis, or
• a better idea of the motion levels currently being sustained in operation through a motion assessment.
