vessel motion

Predicting vessel motion accurately is critical for offshore operations, especially during crew transfers and heavy lifting tasks. Unexpected vessel movements can jeopardise safety, delay schedules, and increase operational costs. Recent advances show that using vessel hull dimensions combined with design parameters to calculate displacement Response Amplitude Operators (RAO) and wave spectra offers promising results. This approach helps offshore professionals anticipate vess

Weather and sea conditions are critical factors in offshore supply operations, especially when managing platform supply vessels (PSVs). Operational teams often face challenges due to misinterpretation or incorrect judgment of forecast data. These errors can lead to inefficient planning, costly delays, and increased safety risks. Given that vessel logistics can account for up to 30% of total operational expenditure (OPEX) in offshore projects, particularly in demanding environ

Offshore platform supply vessels face unpredictable weather that can disrupt schedules and threaten crew safety. Traditionally, vessel planning relied on weather forecasts and operational requests, focusing mainly on significant wave height and wind speed. But these factors alone do not capture the full picture of vessel motion and workability alongside platforms. During 2022 and 2023, a project explored whether machine learning could use vessel operational data to predict wo
