Database structure
Simulations
Analyzing

3. Objective Develop and validate a tool for:
evaluation of the design and operation,
assessment of limiting weather criteria
safety of offshore offloading operations

4. Tool development (Shuttle) Phase 1
Definition of the Graphical User Interface
Formulation of the numerical model

5. Definition Graphical User Interface
How will the interface look like?
How can we work with the interface?
Methodology:
MARIN expert team;
Definition of ‘Look alike screens’ in Excel + Explorer;
Discussion with Hielke Brugts
