OCIMF Environmental Forces Calculator (www.thenavalarch.com)- VLCC

Post by thenavalarch »

Hi

http://www.thenavalarch.com launches the OCIMF Environment Forces Calculator (spreadsheet)

- This Excel sheet helps you calculate the Wind and Current forces on a VLCC as per OCIMF Mooring Equipment Guidelines 3rd Ed Appendix A (MEG 3)

- It calculates the wind and current force and moment coefficients from OCIMF, and calculates final forces from these coefficients

- While specifically for VLCC's, as per recent model tests, this spreadsheet can also be used for smaller ships down to approximately 16000 MT Deadweight

- The output forces can be further used to carry out Mooring analysis for the VLCC
