Taorem, S. (author)In the preliminary design phase of an offshore wind turbine, a complete aerodynamic model is not required to assess its feasibility. As a result, engineers often switch to a simple model which is reliable and efficient, economically and computationally. Such a simplified model is based on the research interest. The main objective of this project...master thesis 2017

Koen, M. (author)Floating Production, Storage & Offloading (FPSO) units are extensively utilized in remote offshore areas for deep water developments where a pipeline infrastructure is not an economically viable solution. Traditionally, FPSOs are converted from oil tankers, which entails that they are not equipped with an appropriate mooring system. A spread...master thesis 2017

van den Berg, A. (author)In order to accurately predict passing vessel interaction forces, different simulation tools have been developed over the years. Many of these are based on a double body flow approach. MARIN (a hydrodynamic research institute located in the Netherlands) developed a simulation tool called the FlowInteraction (FI) module, which is part of the...master thesis 2017

ter Braak, J.C. (author)During Abandonment and Recovery (A&R) operations, steel wire ropes (figure 1) can experience torsional deformation. This deformation is a result of the helical configuration and the tension gradient in the rope due to its self-weight. The latter is very high when the ropes are used in deep water operations. Since the static component of the...master thesis 2017

van Riet, T. (author)In order to meet future energy demand, a more sustainable energy society is essential because fossil fuel reserves are depleting while the total energy consumption worldwide increases. One type of renewable energy which can play a role is ocean energy having the theoretical potential to exceed both current and future human energy needs. This...master thesis 2017

Pieters, P. (author)Due to global demand for safe and cost-effective offshore personnel transfers, Ampelmann has developed multiple-motion-compensated transfer systems. These vessel-mounted motion-compensated offshore transfer systems allow for safe and comfortable access from vessels onto offshore structures. These systems create a near-motionless transfer deck by...master thesis 2017

Apostolidis, E. (author)The offshore industry and especially the oil and gas production, has faced a remarkable growth in the last decades, causing an increase in the population of offshore structures. The overwhelming majority of these structures are bottom founded and mostly made out of steel. Over these decades much experience has been gained with the design and...master thesis 2016

Amellonado, A. (author)Mobile jack-up units remain favourable in the offshore industry due to its capability to self-install and ability to work in moderate water depth. Prior to its mobilization to the site location, it is required to have a site-specific assessment (SSA). The SSA will identify any potential problems related to foundation conditions during...master thesis 2016
