A review is provided focusing on the uncertainties in fatigue loads, damage and crack
growth to be incorporated in reliability assessments. The complex fatigue loads originating …

A ship route optimization system aimed at facing the challenges of a demanding maritime
trade is presented. The paper describes the complete on-board ship weather routing system …

Attaining a sufficient level of safety from the point of view of stability is typically considered to
be a matter of design. However, it is impossible to ensure safety only by design measures …

A novel procedure is introduced to optimise floating turbines' placement in a wind farm. In
the approach, the 'Weighted Product Model (WPM)'is used, which is a Multi-Criteria Decision …

Uncertainties of wave data and models got increasing attention in the last decades by the
marine industry because of their importance for safety at sea. Improved knowledge about …

For several engineering applications, joint met-ocean probabilities are required. Recently
increasing attentions have been given to importance of inclusion wind-sea and swell …

Nonlinear interactions in wave-group focusing are regarded as one of the main mechanisms
in the generation of destructive extreme waves. In real seas, the wideband bimodal state is a …

Hawaii is subject to direct approach of swells from distant storms as well as seas generated
by trade winds passing through the islands. The archipelago creates a localized weather …

A 20 years hindcast, from 1996 to 2015, was performed to simulate the wave field in the
China adjacent seas, including the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, as well as the …

Hawaii's access to the ocean and remoteness from fuel supplies has sparked an interest in
ocean waves as a potential resource to meet the increasing demand for sustainable energy …
