Transportation analysis

Depending on your needs we will find the right solution for you. With insight into your business, we can set up a solution fitting and improving your supply chain. Our solutions cover every transport mode to and from every corner of the world.

Motion and hydrodynamics

To verify or define the acceleration and sea-fastening design’s reaction limits, we carry out services such as Frequency and Time Domain Motion Analysis, Environment Analysis considering structure and motions and determination of limit condition for weather restricted operations.

Mooring analysis

Various types of mooring are required based on the project requirement. Blue Water Engineering has the competencies to perform the mooring analysis and define the required equipment and structural modifications as a consequence of mooring equipment and its location.

Load-out/Load-in calculations

For cargo loading operations, we do calculations based on specific project requirements such as skid load-out (including skid beam design), Ro/Ro load-out, temporary ballast system design and Load-out pulling system design and integration.

Voyage stability calculations

The stability calculations are being performed as per international codes and standards as well as per specific client and marine warranty surveyor requirements. Blue Water competent staff carry out calculations on intact stability as well as damage stability.

Structural design and analysis

All kinds of cargo securing design and engineering verification are performed by Blue Water Engineering including the transport vessel strength calculations as per AISC, Eurocode and Classification Society’s requirements. We do global strength and buckling analysis.

Lifting operation design

For cargo loading operations, we perform various services including Lifting plans, Rigging, Lift points design, Crane checks, Two-block upending as well as Jacking and sliding calculations.

Installation analysis

The installation of offshore assets requires precise engineering engaged in the early stages of the asset design, aiding the design. Blue Water Engineering provides turnkey engineering solutions for efficient operation based on project needs and international codes and standards.

Project Engineering and Management

The Blue Water Engineering team can offer various levels of support if the transportation requires a new-built vessel/fleet or vessel/fleet conversion as well as assessment of correct asset selection:

Project Engineering and Management
