Highlights

  • Fully coupled numerical model of a large-scale three-column 15 MW semi-submersible floating wind turbine.
  • Different catenary mooring line lengths, lumped weights, buoyancy cans, horizontal mooring angle, fairlead height etc. are studied for optimized mooring system solution.
  • Dynamics of various mooring system designs are comprehensively investigate with emphasizes on different design limit states.
  • Further dynamic response analysis of an optimized design is performed to verify the feasibility of the mooring system under various design limit states.

A Comprehensive Guide to Terrestrial Sphere Geometry and Parallel Sailing

 

QUICK ANSWER: TYPES OF SAILINGS IN NAVIGATION

Parallel Sailing:
• Vessel maintains constant latitude (090°T or 270°T)
• Used to calculate departure from difference in longitude
• Formula: departure = d.long × cos Latitude
• Historical method preferred by sailing ships in the 19th century
• Requires no external forces acting on the vessel

Position Reference Fundamentals:
► Latitude measured 0° to 90° North or South from equator
► Longitude measured 0° to 180° East or West from Prime meridian
► Difference in latitude (d .lat) named toward direction of movement
► Difference in longitude (d.long) always shorter arc or smaller angle
► If d.long exceeds 180°, subtract from 360° and reverse the name

Direction Reference Systems:
• Quadrantal notation: 0° to 90° from North/South to East/West
• Three-figure notation: 000° to 360° clockwise from North
• True course: angle between True Meridian

West P&I: Tips for handling IMSBC cargoes during wet weather

 

 

 

by The Editorial Team

 
 

West P&I Club informs on the safe loading of Group A bulk cargoes under the IMSBC Code during wet weather, highlighting key procedures and moisture management requirements to ensure the cargo’s Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) is never exceeded.

As explained, the Club has recently seen several instances regarding loading bulk cargoes that are categorized as Group A cargoes under the IMSBC Code during wet weather. Group A cargoes should never be loaded where it has been determined that the moisture content of the cargo exceeds the Transportable Moisture Limit.

It is therefore
