With the steady growth of international trade, sea transport has become indispensable,
leading to an increase in maritime accidents. The sinking of the Russian Black Sea Fleet …

Hydroelasticity of ships has been established as a necessary form of investigation for both
slender ships and high-speed craft. Experimental investigations have spanned various …

This paper presents an optimal design procedure for internally insulated, carbon steel,
molten salt thermal storage tanks for parabolic trough solar power plants. The exact size of …

This paper introduces the Peregrine breather solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger-type
equation as an innovative design wave. The major benefits are the potential to generate …

The paper presents an approach to determine the global load effects induced on shif
structures by abnormal, freak, or episodic waves. It refers to the present procedure of …

Safety of shipping is an ever growing concern. In a summary, Faulkner investigated the
causes of shipping casualties (2002,“Shipping Safety: A Matter of Concern,” Ingenia, The …

In the past years the existence of freak waves has been affirmed by observations,
registrations, and severe accidents. One of the famous real-world registrations is the so …

Although great efforts have been devoted to revealing the formation mechanisms of rogue
waves, the study of wave–structure interaction such as the green water phenomenon is still …

This paper presents a comprehensive experimental study on the effect of extreme waves on
a LNG carrier. The LNG carrier model was equipped with a variety of sensors to measure …

The paper presents an analysis of structural design wave loads on an FPSO. The vertical
bending moment at midship induced by rogue waves are compared with rule values. The …
