Feed forward control of U anti-roll tanks: Research on the effect of using a wave prediction system for the control of an active U anti-roll tank on the workability of an SOV operating at zero speed

Within this thesis an attempt is made to improve the seakeeping of a Service Operation Vessel (SOV) by means of an active anti-roll tank (ART). It is researched if the addition of a wave prediction system can improve the ART’s performance. As the seakeeping of the SOV is most important for the installed motion compensated gangway, the...
