The present paper targets uncertainties of wave-induced rigid-body ship responses with a
focus on global wave loads. The review presents general concepts and modelling of the …

This paper reviews the importance of uncertainties in hull girder loads influenced by flexible
fluid structure interactions. The focus is on developments in the field of hydroelastic …

Uncertainties of wave data and models got increasing attention in the last decades by the
marine industry because of their importance for safety at sea. Improved knowledge about …

Potential fuel savings using a speed optimization algorithm have been studied for two case
vessels in four different seasons at three ship speeds. Up to 6% fuel savings were observed …

Accuracy validation of the 2D spectral AIS method (AIS method using two-dimensional wave
spectrum; 2D-AIS method) using hull monitoring data of a large ore carrier is discussed. The …

Ships avoid severe sea states for the safety of lives and property and to save energy.
Therefore, the actual sea states encountered by ships differ from nature and are affected by …

For over three (3) decades, there has been an increase in research on energy sources from
the production of oil using flexible marine risers, such as marine hoses. Marine hoses are …

Global scatter diagrams are used to estimate possible ship motions in a specified route and
are required for comprehensive cargo-loading considerations of merchant ships. This study …

Utilizing the AIS data and global ocean wave data, the vertical bending moment (VBM) that
acted on the actual ships was clarified. The long-term prediction was performed based on …

This study is focused on the North Atlantic Ocean where the maritime activity is intense and
accidents have occurred due to dangerous sea state conditions, including the occurrence of …
