... to the aforementioned, the decision for an in-situ life extension rather than dry docking was chosen after a concept selection for a 10-year life extension period. As of December 2023 a 15-year life extension was firm for Bonga FPSO based upon the outcome of analysis of the state of integrity of the FPSO Hull, using...

The passive alignment capability could potentially eliminate the active yaw system on top of the tower and the active ballasting system in the hull to improve the overall system...

... of the two models are compared in detail. For different hull structures, due to the differences in the rigidity of the supporting structure, there is a difference in the tower behavior with or without flexible body modeling. This paper lays the groundwork for future research on flexible body modeling...

... Vito adopted a minimum compartmentation philosophy, simplifying the hull systems, i.e., the ballast, vent, sounding, ventilation ducts, as well as access requirements. The required systems influence the center void size from a spatial layout perspective within the column. Reducing the void size...

... Abstract In this paper, a general method is presented which combines strain gauges’ data with 3D Finite Elements analysis of a hull structure, allowing the complete reconstruction of the structural response everywhere in the structure, based on the measurements from only a few sensors...
