Abstract: The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the shipping of water on the bow of a containership. Model tests were carried out in head regular and irregular waves of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic study of the structural loads induced by abnormal waves on a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) platform. This work is a follow-up to a previous ...

Abstract: The structural loads on a floating production, storage, and offloading platform induced by a large set of realistic (measured) abnormal waves are compared with the loads induced by “design ...

Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of structural design wave loads on an FPSO. The vertical bending moment at midship induced by rogue waves are compared with rule values. The loads induced by ...
