... ABSTRACT The fuel consumption of a ship during navigation is closely related to its speed, path and encountered weather. Ship operating companies always tend to choose the appropriate weather route for fuel consumption saving. When completing a voyage mission, the operating ships are always...

... ABSTRACT The present work is modelling the satellite track to evaluate period of updating data from weather satellites in the selected position. The results help to formulate a concept that use of meteorological satellite data allow planning long range navigation in view of weather and ice...

... ABSTRACT Operation based on weather routing has becoming imperative these days and those ships never experience extremely severe seas. Besides, the size of ships is increasing and fatigue crack damage still occurs, often very early in the ship's service life. It might be that the classical...

... ABSTRACT A ship weather routing system towards enhancing energy efficiency is briefly introduced firstly. This system is composed of several modules, including ship performance calculation, grids system design, weather routing, ship safety etc. However, when the system was first developed, due...

... For design purposes, the wave environment may be described by a deterministic design wave method or a stochastic design wave method, depending on the type of response problem under consideration. However, for weather restricted marine operations, the wave environment should be described by the stochastic...

... Abstract Weather routing represents one increasingly recognized method for reducing fuel consumption, hereby lowering emissions and costs. This paper provides a short outline of weather routing of ships, while focus is on the implementation of the DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) algorithm...

... of drilling will be operated in a very poor condition. So it is necessary to get more metocean data as basic parameters before design a semi-submersible drilling rig. To acquire such data, the engineers carried out a set of surveys and got a lot of in situ metocean data, including not only the weather...

... ABSTRACT Two shipping scheduling techniques specialized for the construction material carrying barges were newly developed. They were developed by improving conventional ‘weather routing technique’. They aim to make the optimal route and scheduling for construction material shipping...

... computer simulation of ocean waves were effective for use in a weather routing system. The final objective of this research is to develop a weather routing system for small ships in coastal waters. We plan to construct the basic positioning of a running ship based on numerical simulations of tides, winds...

... ABSTRACT Evacuation by lifeboat is part of the emergency response plan of virtually every offshore petroleum installation and ship in the world. Offshore and marine industry personnel must be competent to operate lifeboats in the weather conditions that prevail during operations, including...

... ABSTRACT The final object of this research is to develop a weather routing system for small vessels in coastal water. As a first step, we researched the effects of tidal currents on the maneuverability of a ship by numerical simulations and on-board experiments. Ship positions of within...

... ABSTRACT As a first step to develop a weather routing system for a small vessel sailing in coastal water, this paper mainly deals with the effects of the wind and tidal current on a ship's maneuverability. Numerical simulations based on the MMG model and on-board experiments of a ship's...

.... Assuming that these dangerous sea-states will only occur if the sea conditions are fairly rough, accidents due to heavy weather were consequently looked at. Although rather low sea-states were recorded during the events, there were indications that rapid developments of the sea-states and particular...

... transportation under rough weather. Then, obtained answers of the questionnaire were classified in each sea area, and they were analyzed in detail. The obtained results for questionnaire are summarized as follows: The number of days or the season of an operational cancellation is different in each sea area...
