SYNOPSIS

The design of hull for Ship Shaped Floating Structure is based on hull form modelling, hydrostatics and hydrodynamics.  There are a few software used for the analysis purpose such as Seasafe, Hydrostar, Ariane and Orcaflex.  Every software has its unique capabilities due to the different kind of analysis and desired output.  The first part of vessel analysis is to do the hull form modelling and hydrostatics followed by stability and offloading.  Besides analysis, there are certain regulations from IMO, SOLAS and MARPOL that need to be fulfilled for stability requirement.  Hydrodynamics analysis is the second part of designing process.  The main purpose of the analysis is to get the hydrodynamic coefficient and to perform mooring analysis for both quasi static and dynamics.  Finally, the focus output for the analysis is to show positive metacentric height (GM) at main loading conditions and maximum tension at mooring lines for intact cases.  This talk also covers the commercial aspect for the FPSO projects in terms of comparative study and challenges faced by the industry players that may be beneficial to all parties involved not only in the oil and gas sector but in the marine industry as well.
