DP Capability Plot

Customer: GARDLINE
Related services: MANEUVERING & DYNAMIC POSITION ANALYSIS, AERODYNAMIC FORCES AND MOMENTS
Scope of work:

  • Evaluation of vessel’s geometry.
  • Wind, current and wave coefficients are obtained through CFD simulations in StarCCM+.
  • Evaluation of performance and suction of each thruster.
  • Calculation of forces and moments acting on the vessel.
  • Position keeping ability of the vessel according to ERN (Environmental regularity number)
  • DP capability plot

Results:
As a result of this project, the evaluation of DP capability plot determined the limiting environmental conditions within which the vessel will be able to maintain position and heading while using DP.
