Motion analysis of suspended jacket transport with the Heerema SSCV Sleipnir: Comparison of model jacket motions vs actual jacket motions based on motion measurements and exploration of crane fatigue

This research explores the development of an accurate yet fast methodology to use measured vessel motions for a fatigue damage calculation in the cranes during suspended transport. First, the kinematics, definitions and particulars of the system of interest – the vessel including crane and suspended jacket - are provided. Then, literature...
