Marine subsea operations are performed by highly specialized ships, referred to as Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair (IMR) and Offshore Construction Vessels (OCV). Although the ships and their on-board equipment are ...

Currently, ship designers are under increased pressure to provide energy-efficient designs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For a long time, ships were mostly designed and optimized for operation in calm water. However, ...

To reduce costs and limit pollution from transportation of goods by sea, a method for optimization of the propulsive efficiency of an 8000 dead weight tonnage tanker is investigated. Emphasis is put on the interaction ...

As the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has become an important issue, measures and devices to reduce energy consumption are in increasing demand. In this study, the potential energy saving due to the application of ...

Denne masteravhandlingen presenterer en ny teknikk for drivstoffsprediksjon for skip i transitt som tar hensyn til eksterne miljømessige faktorer som strøm, vind og bølger. Blant de mange ytelsesovervåkingssystemene og ...

Ein balanse mellom motstand og manøvrering av eit fartøy er ei utfordring som ofte vert møtt av skipsdesignarar. Dei siste åra har merksemda rundt grøn transport og moglegheita for alternativ drivstoff endra balansen, noko ...

An increasing number of ships are being equipped with sensors and devices for monitoring of operational behavior, and the amount and access to operational data is gradually increasing. Due to various reasons described in ...

Offshore wind power is an active research topic motivated by today’s world energy crisis. While bottom-fixed turbines are relatively mature and commercially viable (though dependent on state-based subsidies to green energy), ...

Ship hull vibration is a significant contributor to fatigue crack growth and the major sources of vibrations are found to be the main engine vibration excitation, the wave-induced springing and whipping loads, and the ...
