Following the successful implementation of fatigue design tools for onboard Advisory Hull Monitoring Systems (AHMS), mooring simulation software aNySIM is being integrated into an onboard fatigue tool for the integrity management of mooring lines. AHMS advises on the hull integrity of FPSOs and helps the owner to understand the real age of the vessel by

BlueWeek is the first platform focusing exclusively on sustainable maritime innovation and providing a link between industry, authorities and research institutes and universities. May 28-30, STC group will host and chair the event at their premises at the heart of Rotterdam harbour.During BlueWeek you can visit seminars, pitch new initiatives or join through Joint Industry

This paper describes computer codes implementing three different numerical methods for the prediction of ship squat at transcritical speeds in shallow open-water are tested. SlenderFlow is a potential flow code specifically for ships in very shallow water, based on partially dispersive slender body theory. Flotilla is a potential flow code based on fully dispersive thin-ship

值此新春佳节，SSSRI-MARIN所有员工在此恭祝大家狗年吉祥，阖家欢乐！春节期间，我司放假时间为2月14日至21日，MARIN将照常上班。 All personnel of SSSRI-MARIN Joint Venture would like to wish you a happy Spring Festival. The SSSRI-MARIN office will be closed from February 14 to 21. During this period the MARIN office is still open.

A great deal of debate and speculation surrounds autonomous sailing. And while MARIN does not pretend to know all the answers, we are taking practical steps to assist in its development.The introduction of further autonomy in shipping firstly aims to facilitate much higher safety standards, but at the same time, a reduction in manning. MARIN

The EU-funded MaRINET2 project has launched its second call for applications. Successful applicants will receive free access to a world-leading network of testing and research infrastructures. The call is open to offshore energy technology developers, including wind, wave and tidal energy at system and component level. It is open until 28 February 2018.MaRINET2 is a

This paper reports on the model tests of a drillship with a rectangular moonpool opening conducted in regular and irregular waves from the bow and bow-quarter. Most tests were conducted at zero speed, the rest was performed with the model towed to a speed of 10 kn. From the video-recordings and transfer functions of the

A few years ago, MARIN was asked to take care of the hydrodynamic model of a challenging, autonomous underwater vehicle, as part of a larger simulation system, to assist with operator proficiency training for Launch & Recovery operations. This was the birth of the XMF Runtime Interface (XRI): an interface around MARIN's core, time domain
