 Abstract

Installation of jacket platforms requires simultaneous and combined operations of multiple assets. When the whole process has to be planned, it is necessary to predict in a fast and reliable way the possible weather limitations that may occur during the operations. The paper will present the major challenges of this unusual and innovative Dynamic Positioning analysis which has been carried out for Ana Jacket installation. The obtained results show that the Dynamic Positioning system of the core vessel in intact configuration is capable to hold the position for the investigated vessels' arrangements and design operative weather conditions. Lifting, upending and installation of Ana Jacket were carried out successfully in 2021.
