Team work. Groups of 2-3 students EXERCISE NO 1, spring 2004 (Counts 30% in final grading) EXAMPLES OF MARINE OPERATIONS. Physical phenomena and relevant analysis. Given: 09.01 Due: 20.02 In the list below you will find examples of marine operations and some related problems. Each group choose one example. For the operation chosen, you should: Give specific, practical examples (from literature) on the operation. Discuss which physical phenomena that must be accounted for in design equipment used and in planning the operation. Highlight critical issues Discuss how the system can be analysed to quantify the critical issues (e.g. how to asses stability, force, clearances etc.) The work shall be summarized in a report. Put emphasis on making a well written report including proper documentation and references. A 10 min. oral presentation of the main findings shall be prepared. The presentation is to be held 20.02.03

Practical experience versus physical insight. Engineering approach Understand physics of system Quantification by simple methods Detailed analysis Advanced numerical tools, experiments
Examples on marine operations (DNV) Load Out: Transfer a structure from land onto a vessel Float Out: Transfer a structure from a dry construction site to a self floating condition. Float on / Float off: Transfer a floating structure onto a vessel and vice versa. Towing: Pushing / pulling by tugs. Self propelled carrier transports: Transport on deck of a self-propelled vessel Launching: Cutting seafastening of a structure and slide down launch rails to a free floating condition. Upending: Upend a floating structure. Positioning: Position a structure a predetermined location Setting: Set down a structure, levelling and soil penetration. Pipelaying: Laying pipe on the seafloor.
Examples on marine operations (DNV) Piling: Secure a structure to sea bottom by driving piles into the soil. Offshore loading: Loading e.g. oil from one vessel to an other. Grouting: Cementing piles after pile driving or injection of cement to level foundation. Lifting: Lift or support a structure by crane. Lift off: Transfer a structure from a temporary construction site onto a transportation vessel. Mating: Join two floating structures. ROV /AUV operations: Work on subsea equipment, surveilance, bottom mapping. Etc...
