... has passed. Despite advances in skill in predicting variables such as wind speed or significant wave height, a perennial problem for offshore industry users interested in the incisive application of metocean forecast information to effectively enhance their operational decision-making is knowing how...

... Abstract Metocean forecast verification statistics (or ‘skill scores’), for variables such as significant wave height, are typically computed as a means of assessing the (past) weather model performance over the particular area of interest. For developers, this information is important...

.... Installation offshore was limited by winds, seas and long period swells that could reach the site from remote areas of the Atlantic. A summary of metocean support for the Hebron Platform is presented with lessons learned and comparisons made with the Hibernia Construction Project executed 20 years earlier...

... universities and non-governmental partners to utilize the Alcyone buoy as a platform to make additional measurements varying from marine life monitoring to deep water column temperature readings to characterize thermocline variability.

... based on meteorological, oceanographic (MetOcean) and a ship's response behavior at sea. A proper voyage optimization algorithm is the core element of such a ship routing system. Due to uncertain information of MetOcean condition forecast and deviation between the initial planned ship routes...

... This paper describes the changes embodied in the upcoming 2 nd Edition of API RP-2MET (Metocean). Gulf of Mexico metocean criteria updated in this edition include revised hurricane hazard curves (including a recommended method to address the so-called "crest conundrum"), the addition...

... ABSTRACT This paper studied coarse berth operability and operation downtime at the port in Eastern Thailand, due to metocean such as wind speed and significant wave height. The wave transformation is calculated by numerical wave model using Delft3D-WAVE (Open Source) for estimating...

... This paper shares results from three DeepStar® Phase XII efforts championed by the X800 Metocean Committee. The first project, 12801, examined marine growth profiles for the Gulf of Mexico. The profile presently used by industry is based on limited data collected nearly thirty years ago...

... Abstract Response based method for the design of floating systems predicts Nyear responses using probabilistic approach, as opposed to the traditional approach, where the design depends upon motions or loads imparted by N-year metocean parameters, i.e. combination of wave, wind and current...

... Tropical cyclones represent one of the most catastrophic examples of Natural Hazard. The effect of such events on the environment and human activities is a foregone conclusion. Metocean design criteria are usually defined using databases of historical tropical cyclone tracks characterized...

... with benign to moderate metocean conditions that allow side-by-side offloading of the LNG. This paper describes a "Split Process" FLNG design where primary production and gas treatment functions are provided on a host platform while liquefaction occurs on a separate vessel(s). The arrangement works...

... Accurate and reliable estimates of probabilities of rare, extreme metocean events are critical for optimal design of offshore facilities. They ensure facilities are neither over- nor under-designed, allowing target reliability levels to be achieved without undue conservatism. Engineering design...
