Services

We offer a range of services, all are based on our expertise of hydrodynamics and marine engineering.

Operational analysis

With the analysis software OrcaFlex, we simulate offshore operations in frequency- or time-domain. With a number of supercomputers at our disposal, we are able to perform thousands of simulations ensuring all environmental conditions are taken into account.

RAOs

For any vessel Mocean can determine hydrodynamic behaviour and provide vessel RAOs. This is possible on the basis of existing panel models, linesplans or other 3D geometries. We use a combination of diffraction analysis (AQWA and OrcaWave), and in-house tools to determine additional properties like damping, the influence of Anti Roll Tanks and more.

  • Vessel wave response (CTV, barges, CLV, SOV, Semi-sub, Monohull etc.)
  • 2nd order response
  • Multi-body diffraction analysis
OrcaFlex

Mocean has a strong record in using OrcaFlex and OrcaWave to its maximum capabilities. Our engineers know and use the tool to its full extend. Mocean has a wide range of in-house extensions to the software to ensure accurate modelling of complex interactions. This includes control systems like Dynamic Positioning, active vessel-to-vessel mooring systems, a range of tools including motion-compensation, winch-control and many more.

  • Frequency and Time Domain simulations
  • Large batch processing
  • In-house developed extensions
Operability and Workability assessments

We evaluate environmental limits to ensure safe and efficient offshore operations. With the analysis software OrcaFlex, we simulate offshore operations in frequency- or time-domain.

Advanced Engineering Analysis

We're experienced in working closely with MWS to build confidence and proof a technically sound approach. Minimizing conservatism while ensuring safety is one of the puzzles we're passionate about.

With our in-house tools we capture complex interactions of any structure or operation to provide a holistic overview of your project.

CFD analysis

Mocean believes in avoiding conservatism where possible. This includes zooming in on phenomena that are commonly represented using conservative estimates of e.g. drag, added mass and damping. Through the use of CFD, Mocean aims to accurately represent hydrodynamic behavior of complex structures (lowering templates, suction buckets, ROVs). We use CFD as an extension on our modelling and analysis only.

Root-cause analysis

Our root-cause analysis services identify the underlying issues behind engineering failures, enabling effective solutions to prevent recurrence and enhance system reliability.

Design evaluation and optimization

We evaluate and optimize engineering designs to improve performance, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with industry standards and project requirements. We can function as a second pair of eyes to spot room for improvement on the basis of our extensive experience.

Novel installation methodologies

We are passionate about rethinking the status-quo of offshore operations, while acknowledging the challenges that it can present. Teaming up to develop novel methodologies or assess innovative improvements is the type of puzzle Mocean engineers enjoy and excel at.

Seakeeping analysis

Our seakeeping analysis services assess vessel performance in various sea conditions, ensuring safety, comfort, and operational efficiency for marine operations. Our in-house developments can introduce various degrees of detailing of Dynamic Position systems, with eye for pragmatism and the physics at play.

Vessel-to-vessel (heavy) lifting

In complex lifting operations, Mocean provides support to analyze the combined dynamics of the vessels, their interactions and the influence on payload motions.

On-demand engineering support

We pride ourselves in a flexible attitude and pragmatic approach, and we aim to integrate seamlessly in existing teams. Our engineers share a common strong background in the fundamentals and an eagerness to dive into new challenges.
