Suction Bucket installation operability analysis
The focus in this project was on accurately model the dynamics of the Suction Bucket Jacket (SBJ) during two critical installation phases: splash-zone crossing and landing onto the seabed. In addition, overall workability was evaluated. We developed detailed aero-/hydrodynamic models to simulate the SBJ’s descent through the splash zone, along with a coupled hydrodynamic and geotechnical model to […]
Floating installation of Arcadis Ost 1 OWF
Arcadis Ost 1 is the first commercial offshore wind project installed with a floating installation method. Parkwind Ost GmbH contracted Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) for the loadout, transport and installation of the WTGs. Mocean assisted HMC with the installation analysis. Mocean assisted HMC with wind turbine component lift analyses, determining design loads and expected motions for their novel full RNA lift method. […]
FOWT Platform design
Mocean supports maturing the design of a deep water floating wind platform for ECO TLP. The support includes floater design, improvements on the mooring system, overhaul of the installation methodology and development platform-specific cost modelling, as well as a scale-model test campaign performed at MARIN. Mocean leads the technical package for this innovative project, which has included responsibility for the process to receive […]
Mooring and motion analysis for HLV Gulliver
Mocean Offshore performed a mooring and motions analysis for HLV Gulliver during a decommissioning campaign. Conduct mooring and motion analysis for Heavy Lift Vessel Gulliver during a decommissioning campaign. The scope entailed a mooring and motion analysis for a total of 13 lifts (topsides and jackets) during lift and transport operations. Results of the scope are workability tables for […]
Quad lift for Hinkley Point
Detailed multi-body (3) heavy lift analysis involving a quad-crane-lift operation and fully coupled mooring response in extremely shallow water and high current conditions. As a part of the cooling system of a nuclear power plant; large concrete intake and outfall heads had to be installed on the seabed. The lift was performed by Scaldis with the Rambiz and Gulliver heavy lift vessels. […]
