Stability Analysis and Incline Tests

HEC conducted an independent third-party analysis of the design for Shell’s FPS. Our team focused on updating the HECSALV model to include all design changes, such as vessel subdivision, wind loading, and lightship. We will also carried out stability analysis to create a limiting KG curve and evaluated performance under reduced overturning moments. Our efforts ensured that necessary calculations and considerations were made in accordance with regulations, with the final software model included as part of our deliverables. (2023-2025)
