Offshore exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons have opened up an era of
dynamically positioned (DP) vessels. DP control systems maintain floating structures in fixed …

Marine Cybernetics is a multidisciplinary education and research program offered by the
Department of Engineering Cybernetics and the Department of Marine Technology, the …

This paper describes the development of a neural-network-based prediction of mooring
forces of a deep-sea oil exploitation production process. The evolvement of a neural network …

In this article, we analyze the linear stability of tandem offloading systems in wind, current,
and waves. The wind and current forces are evaluated with the help of published …

The dynamical positioning system is a complex control consisting of a number of
components, including: filters, observers, controllers, and propeller allocation systems. The …

The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of MR Elastomer (MRE)
Tensioner system in FPSO-Shuttle Tanker in-tandem system to mitigate fishtailing instability …

In this paper a systematic study of the dynamics of turret FPSO in single and tandem
configuration is carried out for further application in the formulation of control strategy of the …

Dynamical aspects of a system composed of two interconnected ships floating at sea under
the combined action of wind and current are presented here. Realistic, simulation-type …

This work considers nonlinear dynamical aspects of a turret FPSO unit plus shuttle vessel.
Firstly, the dynamics of the main FPSO unit alone is investigated under the combined action …

There are various situations in the operation of ships that require remain positioned close to
another vessel at sea under the action of environmental agents. This scenario is common in …
