Towing operations are highly reliant on the experience of the towing operators. Safety
concerns arise when towing operations are subjected to environmental disturbances and …

Very large floating structures (VLFS) are substantial in scale, typically comprising dozens to
hundreds of interconnected modules. This paper utilizes a multi-float towing approach to …

In order to decrease the dynamic response of cylindrical FPSO, a novel anti-motion
structures with taper angle is proposed. According to the computational fluid dynamics …

An offshore integrated meteorological mast (OIMM) featured by integrating the offshore
