Abstract

The propose of this paper is to discuss the advantages obtained by the simulations of offloading operations in the presence of waves, detailing the effects that arise when body's interactions are taken into account. Effects are sensed in the equilibrium position, on the drift's forces and the necessary power to dynamic position system. On this paper a simulation of a real offloading operation is presented. Results are shown with and without the shielding effect.
