- Transport motion analysis
- Jacket launch Design and analysis
- Upend Design and analysis
- Concept design of jacket ballast system
ORCA Offshore was involved in this project from FEED to detailed design. Simulations of the transport, launch and upending have been performed using MOSES from Bentley.
