For the fatigue estimation location of above vessel, the constant C keeps about 19 3. There are a lot of uncertainties in the model (hs, fz)… 4. Comparing to the other parameters, wave Hs is the most important factor of fatigue damage …(further work) 5. Need to check wave spectrum measurement by satellite wave model… 6.
