... was applied to a range of interesting wave states, including multi-modal swells and the results were compared with estimates obtained independently from a numerical hindcast. It was found that generally favourable estimates of the wave spectral properties could be obtained at the site, particularly the mean...

... validated using high quality dynamic motion records acquired during the drilling campaign. The model comprises a hindcast of the directional wave spectra and numerically derived hydrodynamic response characteristics of the ship. The performance of the model is evaluated using a range of selected seastates...

... designed to the same design codes have different realised levels of integrity. To address this concern in this paper, we apply a large-scale extreme value model adapted to parallel computing environment, applied to the recent high-resolution SEAFINE hindcast database. This not only ensures design criteria...
