Global Maritime AS involved in the latest major revision of ‘DNV-RP-C205 Environmental Conditions and Loads’.
The recommended practice (RP), DNV-RP-C205 Environmental Conditions and Loads, has been revised based on findings from a joint industry project (JIP) in which Global Maritime has actively participated over the past three years. This update incorporates the latest technical advancements and insights into computational modelling, environmental condition analysis, and load assessments for offshore structures. It also integrates results and experiences from recent research and development efforts, as well as design expertise from current projects.
The widely used RP provides rational design criteria and guidance for the assessment and application of loads on marine structures subjected to wind, wave, current, and ice.
Global Maritime’s Hydrodynamics team has continued to lead our involvement within the JIP, through the provision of their extensive knowledge and experience in the analysis and design of various offshore structures.
“It has been a privilege to lead Global Maritime’s participation in this extremely interesting joint industry project, expanding our involvement and collaboration with other key experts in the offshore sector to share industry-best design practices.” said Pål Takle Bore, Senior Naval Architect at Global Maritime. “Additionally, I am pleased that two of my articles, co-authored with David Kristiansen and Jørgen Amdahl at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), are cited within the new revision. The first article, "Statistical Modelling of Extreme Ocean Current Velocity Profiles", presents a method to estimate extreme ocean current velocity profiles that considers dependence on both depth and direction. While the second, "Modelling of hydrodynamic loads on aquaculture net cages by a modified Morison model", presents a simple way to convert "screen type" force coefficient (commonly derived from experiments with nets) into equivalent Morison type force coefficients.”
