Your responsibility Ensure proper margins for…. Motions Forces Stability Accessibility ….induced by Static configuration Operational actions Environmental forces Interface Operational planning Procurement Client
Motions & clearances Shackle pad eyes, chain links Lifted object deck modules Towing wire corners of towed object Vessel platform leg openings Deck layout, seafastening Production tolerances Pendulum motion in crane Vessel motions Guiding. Openings Impact loads
Forces & structural capacity Forces in guiding systems Forces in lifting or tugging wires Loading of vessels and structures Local and global loads Bending and tension of cables Safety factors Material quality and sertificates
Stability & capacity Free floating: VCB, VCG, Water plane area Slack tanks Contact forces Airfilled compartmet Body interaction Capacity: sinking?
Weather sensivity Given design => proper engineering => given operational condition Uncertain weather forecasts => Alpha factor Waiting on weather Who’s paying? How to establish the actual weather conditions?
Heaven and hell Contract loyalty & honesty Interpretation of rules and regulations Sufficient time and resources for analysis
