TRANSPORT VESSELS

SUMMARY
Using the dynamic characteristics of the vessel in combination with weather forecasts and design limits like maximum
allowable accelerations, motions or leg-bending moments, onboard advice can be given regarding safe heading, speed
and route. By using normalized responses, weather windows can be generated in which all the critical responses are
accounted for.
A procedure is outlined for the calculation, monitoring and forecast of ship responses. The procedure is suitable for
engineering purpose and onboard operational support. No concessions regarding attainable accuracy have to be made.
Important elements are 3D-diffraction theory with forward speed, stochastic linearization of nonlinear roll damping and
combination of responses on transfer function level. The roll motion can be tuned by calibration of an artificial bilge
keel height.
The developed algorithms have successfully been applied in engineering studies (as part of the preparation of transport
manuals) and onboard for operational decision support. Since the information is provided onboard in a mariners style,
the system has become of a proven support for the Master in heavy weather conditions. Per today, many heavy lift and
transport operators are applying the system onboard and/or in the office to ensure a safe and economic cargo transport.
