Introduction To Offshore Floating Systems

Course Overview

This one-day seminar aims to provide an overview of offshore floating systems. Areas such as  Regulatory framework, design of hull structure, risers, moorings, and some related basic theory  (e.g. hydro and aerodynamics, ship stability & hydrostatics, resistance & propulsion, etc.) will be covered. Some installation, structural integrity management, and operations issues will be discussed.
