A review of some representative floating wave energy converter (WEC) projects in the world,
including the wave energy capturing technology, development history, main dimensions and …

The present paper targets uncertainties of wave-induced rigid-body ship responses with a
focus on global wave loads. The review presents general concepts and modelling of the …

As in terrestrial facilities, safety is one of the most important issue in ships. Vessels
navigating in many parts of the world face many different, tough and dangerous navigational …

A review is presented of different approaches to quantify the risk in maritime transportation.
The discussion of several accident statistics provides a global assessment of the risk levels …

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 …

Results are presented of a benchmark study organised by the ISSC-ITTC Joint Committee
on global linear wave loads on a container ship with forward speed. The aim of the study is …

Wave parameters, such as wave height and wave period, are important for human activities,
such as navigation, ocean engineering and sediment transport, etc. In this study, wave data …

Floating structures are designed in such way that the appearance of fatigue failures cannot
be avoided, implying the need for inspections during their life. Their maintenance has to be …

A Palmgren–Miner's rule and fracture mechanics (FM) based approach coupled with
Bayesian updating in order to establish inspection plans for marine structures is proposed. A …

The influence of various parameters, such as ship initial speed (full ahead and lower engine
loads), loading condition, heading angle and weather conditions on ship fuel consumption …
