      Due to an increasing interest in oil and gas exploration in the Barents Sea, it is important to identify all the challenges related to petroleum activity in that area. The objective of this thesis is to examine conditions ...
    • Modelling and Analysis of a Cylindrical Flare Tower 

      Legard, Kjetil (Master thesis, 2013)
      The study of a cylindrical flare tower concept proves that this novel flaretower design has great potential and could be a competetor to traditionaltruss-work flare towers. A design capable of withstanding wind and sealoads ...
    • Prediction of extreme loads and fatigue damage for a ship hull due to ice action 

      Suyuthi, Abdillah (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2013:77, Doctoral thesis, 2013)
      Knowledge about statistical behavior of local ice loads on ship hulls is valuable for the purpose of safe voyage in ice-covered waters, both for short and long term time horizons. Based on the loads that are measured, e.g. ...
    • An Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of LNG and HFO as Marine Fuels 

      Laugen, Lars (Master thesis, 2013)
      The maritime transportation industry will face harder requirements from the international community when it comes to environmental issues. The introduction of Emission Control Areas (ECAs) has forced shipowners to rethink ...
    • The influence of ice classification on design of an offshore supply vessel 

      Molnes, David André (Master thesis, 2013)
      It is estimated that 22% of the worlds remaining petroleum resources are located in the Arctic region and 88% are located offshore. To produce these resources is it needed with equipment that can handle the environmental ...
