Traceability in ship design: Connecting need, requirements and design in one information model

Traceability in complex ship design involves keeping track of the evolving relations between need, requirements and design. Such traceability is not fully developed in the current design process at DMO due to divisions in the design process and between design tools. This thesis proposes to use a single information model to facilitate...

Concept Design of a Crew Transfer Vessel

Today’s increasing attention to offshore wind turbines as a renewable source of energy leads to new problems from the logistics point of view. As a consequence of new generation wind farms being built and planned to be built further offshore, as far as 150-200km from the shore, current transportation concepts that are used for wind turbine...
