Glosten PelaStar recently joined hands with nine other offshore wind technology developers to form the Friends of Floating Offshore Wind (FoFOW). As a whole, the floating offshore wind industry faces a number of challenges on the road to commercialization. FoFOW aims to define the support requirements that will help developers…
The present paper describes the analysis of ferry wake wash along a proposed route between San Francisco and a new ferry terminal at Hercules. The steady wave field generated by a candidate catamaran ferry was calculated for a range of vessel speeds and water depths, using established computational fluid...
Gray et al. (2003) have identified channel width as an emerging important feature of channel design. In this paper, a powerful new procedure is advanced for the analysis of navigational aberrancy and channel width requirements. The procedure combines fast-time Monte Carlo maneuvering simulations with least squares regression of extreme...
The Great Lakes Ballast Technology Demonstration Project is a joint U.S. and Canadian cooperative project that recently funded three six-month, full-scale design studies of promising ballast water treatment systems. The intent of each study is to fully develop, for a specified “target” vessel, the contract design, and life cycle cost…
