Model Test Report of a 100,000 Ton Heavy Lift Ship as a Seabased Intermediate Transfer Station
2009
Mcllwaine, Richard | Sheahan, Dan
This report describes the second phase of sub-scale testing undertaken at for the CISD developed Intermediate Transfer Station (ITS). Phase I testing used a 50,000 ton Heavy Lift Ship (HLS) and concentrated on a med-moor configuration. Phase II introduced a wider range of configurations, including skin-to-skin, bow-to-stern, and varied headings with the use of a HLS approximately twice the size of the small HLS. The main objectives of the Phase II testing were to quantify the lee produced by the different configurations, determine the likelihood of deck wash and ramp torsion, compare and contrast varying ITS configurations, and to observe the relative ship motions.
