Numerical Analysis for the Dynamic Forces and Operational Risk Accomplished for a “Hiload DP1” Unit Docked to MT “Navion Anglia” at Sea Waves

In this paper author depicts the results of the sea trials of the operational test of a Hiload technology at sea waves with the numerical analysis for the dynamic forces and operational risk. The research was carried out on board MT “Navion Anglia” which was engaged in a towing operation through the Atlantic Ocean with a “Hiload DP1” prototype unit docked on her portside alongside, with different ship’s draft and in different weather conditions. Additionally in this paper author presents the methods that can be used for estimating the safety factor SF against sliding and/or operational risk for the towing and/or manoeuvring operation with a “Hiload DP1” unit docked alongside at the open sea.
