NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND MODEL TEST OF SIDE LAUNCHING OF A 260000 DWT TANKER BY TIPPING TABLE PRINCIPLE

Article type: Research Article

Authors: Senjanović, Ivo

Affiliations: University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract: This paper outlines the investigation of launching ships and floating structures from a horizontal berth by a tipping table, which comprises the structure dynamics, i.e. both theory and experiments. Numerical simulation and model test of the side launching of a large tanker on even keel are analysed and a correlation study between the calculation and measurement results is performed. The advantages and limitations of this new way of launching are pointed out.
