OPERATIONAL PLANNING ON DYNAMIC POSITIONING SHIPS(DP)
Posted by author on August 30th, 2008
In making a conventional passage berth to berth, many vessels undertake operations involving navigation in areas where different forms of hazards exist, for example for offshore oilfields. The berth to berth plan should address operational planning within a worksite environment.
When arriving at the operational area or worksite, it is necessary for a detailed operational plan [...]

Posted by author on June 30th, 2008
A tanker at a jetty or a sea island is held in the berth by a combination of mooring lines and breasting dolphins which resist the forces applied to the tanker by wind, current, waves and other environmental factors.There are multiple mooring lines which connect from several locations on the ship to several mooring points [...]

Having determined the environment forces acting on the ship it is necessary to calculate the strength and number of mooring lines required to balance this forces.
Computers program are widely available to carry out this task for any combination of wind and current speeds and angles. For either method the three dimensional coordinates of all ship [...]
