Hi
www.thenavalarch.com launches the OCIMF Environment Forces Calculator - for VLCC (spreadsheet)
[ul]
[li]This Excel sheet helps you calculate the Wind and Current forces on a VLCC as per OCIMF Mooring Equipment Guidelines 3rd Ed Appendix A (MEG 3)
[/li][li]It calculates the wind and current force and moment coefficients from OCIMF, and calculates final forces from these coefficients
[/li][li]While specifically for VLCC’s, as per recent model tests, this spreadsheet can also be used for smaller ships down to approximately 16000 MT Deadweight
[/li][li]The output forces can be further used to carry out Mooring analysis for the VLCC
[/li][/ul]
A youtube demo video is here:
