Solutions for industry sectors

 

Modelling and control of wave-induced ship motion

Operational success often relies on seakeeping behaviour.  Managing this impact is key to maximising its value.  With specialist engineering knowledge you can obtain independent and objective solutions for

  • feasibility studies;
  • motion and operability analysis;
  • risk assessment;
  • vessel selection;
  • model testing preparation and support; 
  • hull design improvement for motions in waves;
  • stabiliser specification and design; 
  • ship based measurement and monitoring;
  • construction specification, and
  • turn key solutions.

Analysis

Comprehensive computational analysis tools to model ship motion with stabilisers and appendages.  Close cooperation with leading maritime research organisations ensure that the best scientific knowledge is applied and remains current.

Visualisation

Computer visualisation to communicate a seakeeping result in what is sometimes a complex subject matter.  Whether it is your ship in waves, a comparison of two ships with or without a control system through computer animation.  Real life data records or model test data can be replayed.

Improving Seakeeping

When ship capability is inadequate or problems arise due to motion, there are a range of solutions.  Whether adopting a turn key solution or a component for integration with existing devices the supply spectrum is flexible.  This includes

  • operational instructions;
  • monitoring systems;
  • specification of stabilisation equipment;
  • design of stabilisation equipment;
  • supply of stabilisation equipment, or
  • customised stabiliser systems and devices. 

Experience

The multi-disciplined team has over a decade of experience in the analysis, design and development of stabilisation and motion control systems.  They understand the value of effectively managing a vessel's seakeeping.  An engineered approach is both economical and sound when compared with the cost of operational failure.
