Structure  information

1 Jack-up:

This jack-up was originally found in a publication of ABS and is purely a schematic shape not a copy of a real design.

Reference:

Breuer, J.A. and Sjöland, K.G., 2006, “Orthogonal Tipping in Conventional Offshore Stability Evaluations”,

Proceedings of the 9th International conference on Stability of Ships and Ocean Vehicles (STAB 2006).

2 Semi submersible:

This semi submersible is found in a publication of GustoMSC and is purely a schematic shape not a copy of a real design.

Reference:

Santen, JA van, The use of energy build up to identify the most critical heeling axis direction for stability calculations for floating offshore structures, STAB 2009 Conference St Petersburg

Hull geometry data

·   Plan of form as found in the ABS and GustoMSC publications

·   3D hull form (Rhino+IGES, kindly prepared by Gabriele Bulian)

For the semi submersible take care to have a proper width for the damaged compartment of 6 m instead of 7 as found in an earlier version of the publication

Loading condition(s)

One draught, one KG intact and damaged

Numerical data

Calculation of the righting arms for various cases defined by axis direction and calculation method.
