Extreme Values of Motion from RO/RO Discharge Facility Experiments and Trials

Abstract

Several predictions, model experiments, and trials concerning the absolute and relative motion of various components of a Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) ship offshore off loading system have been reviewed. The results of each report have been compared to similar results of other reports. A table of estimated extreme motion values for the RO/RO ship and causeway platform motions in Sea State 3 was determined from appropriate existing data. Recommendations are presented for future work to improve motion predictions.
