Ogilvie, R.J. (author)Chapter 2 gives information about MS4, its structure, its possibilities, and its limitations. More information can be found in the MS4 User's Handbook (Massie, 1985). Chapter 3 describes the time interpolation method used for tidal current data. By means of a least square method ellipses are fit in the souree data. Chapter 4 describes the use of...master thesis 1986

Van de Veire, B. (author)De kaden bij de marine containerterminals in Noord-Westeuropa hebben een lage bezettingsgraad. De investeringen in de kaden leveren daardoor een laag rendement op. Als oplossing voor dit probleem is het combi-terminal concept naar voren gekomen in de voorgaande studie "Innovatief kade-concept". Bij dit concept worden naast containerschepen ook...master thesis 1996

Klein, M.D. (author)Large-scale, marine sand mining in front ofthe Dutch coast might be necessary in the near future in order to meet the needs of sand for regular engineering works and/or for a possible second Maasvlakte or a national airport on an artificial island. In order to make a socio-economically and environmentally sound decision with respect to location...master thesis 1999

Pouw, C.P. (author)The design of a marine propeller is characterized by its complexity rather then its shortcoming of knowledge how to asses its performance. There are several constraints to satisfy and all are in a different field. The three major considerations are strength, performance (efficiency) and cavitation behavior. There is not a perfect design...master thesis 2008

Jousta, S.B. (author)The thesis has developed an approach for better coping with risks and uncertainty associated with comples EPRD projects in the marine contracting industry. Two of the world's first EPRD project have been analyzed to generate specific knowledge on the effetiveness of current project risk management practice. An approach has been developed to...master thesis 2010

Hofschreuder, B. (author)The Wash estuary is situated at the English east coast. Covering an area of approximately 615 km2, the estuary is among the largest estuaries in the United Kingdom. Adjacent to the Wash estuary, the Fenlands are situated, a low lying area covering almost 3900 km2. Within the last century several coastal flood disasters and near flood disasters...master thesis 2012

Popov, D.A. (author)This project started with a visit to Xtenders where a tough model of a new concept came to my attention. This sketch looked different from at the time produced by Xtenders models and evoked some curiosity that emerged into the graduation thesis. Xtender is a Dutch brand that builds yacht tenders. The main advantage of the product has been...master thesis 2012

Anninos, P. (author)In the contemporary business world, more and more organizations especially in the engineering domain structure their working processes around projects. These organizations are called project-based-organizations (PBOs) and have established distinct work processes to successfully execute the projects that they undertake. The working processes in...master thesis 2012

Meijer, L.A. (author)Deep-marine slope and base-of-slope hydrocarbon reservoirs are difficult to model and produce because of their size and complex nature. The oil and gas industry focuses on easily producible reservoirs in channelized deposits, thereby leaving considerable volumes in the more heterogeneous external levees and lobes. This thesis is on how such...master thesis 2012

De Jong, M.A. (author)The Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) supplies innovative products for the offshore industry and shipping companies. Among their products are highly realistic real-time bridge simulators. Currently, the waves are deterministic and are not affected by ships, moles, breakwaters, piers, or any other object. To bring the simulators to...master thesis 2012

Selker, R. (author)To keep up with the growing demand for oil and gas, the oil and gas industry ventures into deeper waters. For a deep water pipeline project, South Stream, a pipeline test program is developed. Part of this program is the investigation of the resistance of an externally pressurised pipeline against local buckling collapse. This is a decisive...master thesis 2013

Scholte, K.A. (author)Monitoring marine vessel traffic is a labor intensive job. In order to identify possible unsafe situations and vessels breaking the law, a port traffic control authority needs to observe marine vessel traffic 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Human operators are good at identifying abnormal behavior, but are unable to do so for extended periods of...master thesis 2013

Velders, G.P. (author)The Sea Spider is a new concept for marine personnel transfer. The goal of the first part of this report is to investigate only the technical feasibility of this concept. For this, a conceptual analysis is performed on several components/tasks. This analysis pinpointed the challenges in this concept. It can be concluded that the concept is...master thesis 2014

Piccoli, C. (author)The assessment of port marine operations performance by means of simulation is treated in this master thesis project. The navigational services provided to vessel at the access channels, from their arrival to the berthing operations and from unberthing to vessels departure, are investigated and evaluated. In the case study, FlexSim is used as...master thesis 2014

Lievens, R.A. (author)Marine contractors deal with processes that are understood qualitatively but are hard to quantify. The amount of data available for these processes is ever growing, and so too the intrinsic value that lies within this data. Several data driven model approaches can be used to analyse this process data, one being a Bayesian Network (BN) approach....master thesis 2014

Van Aubel, J.F. (author)When harsh weather conditions are expected during an offshore pipeline operation, the decision to start the abandonment procedure has to be taken based on pipeline integrity limits. The pipeline integrity which is analysed by a maximum design sea state does not correspond to the situation offshore, because sea states always occur in a different...master thesis 2015

Schuberth, M.G. (author)In marine seismic acquisitions, a major deteriorating effect on resolution is caused by ghost re- flections. Sensors towed at depth within a water column record not only the desired up-going wavefield reflected from geological formations, but also its reflections from the sea surface known as down-going wavefield, or seismic ghost. This...master thesis 2015
