Verification is typically defined as ensuring that the computerized model and its implementation are compliant with its requirements and specifications as detailed...

.... The result has been the development of Classification requirements for charging buoys which address issues such as system design, operating philosophy, operations, testing and verification. Electrical safety and establishing connections in a marine environment are fundamental to deploying this technology...

... By 2050, global installed floating wind capacity is expected to reach 264 GW. Project sanction will require levelized cost of energy (LCOE) being significantly below current levels, but also to demonstrate that the life, property, and the environment are safeguarded. Most class societies were...

... Development of novel hydrodynamic solutions to meet the demands for fuel efficiency of the future merchant fleet will require continuous innovation in the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods being used. This is especially true when considering the development of Energy Saving Devices...

.... This process is highly dependent on the type of mesh used and the CFD code being used. As a result of these requirements, there always exists a significant opportunity in the modeling industry to improving meshing strategies and approaches. Here a review of the various methods is presented and their utility...

... For many offshore developments, there is a drive to minimize the required manning and enabling remote operations to reduce personnel exposure and to reduce the overall cost (lighter topsides, simpler hull, less maintenance). This paper considers semisubmersible production facilities...
