Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STATIC AND DYNAMIC POSITIONING OR CONTROLLING MOTION OF MARINE STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/154337
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and a method for static and dynamic positioning or controlling the motion of a marine structure by using real-time monitoring of at least one or a combination of a mooring line, marine environment, six degrees of freedom of the marine structure, condition of tanks, an upper portion of a hull, and underwater. In the present invention, real-time static and dynamic monitoring data of the mooring line is obtained and processed for positioning or controlling and maintaining the motion of the marine structure. According to the present invention, 1) the tension of the mooring line is measured by real-time monitoring of the mooring line; 2) various marine environment elements, such as wind direction, wind speed, atmospheric humidity, atmospheric pressure, atmospheric temperature, cloud height, visibility, surge, wave height, ocean current velocity, ocean current direction, and precipitation, can be measured by real-time monitoring of the marine environment; 3) six degrees of freedom movement of the marine structure is measured by real-time monitoring of the marine structure; 4) data on leakage and sloshing of a variety of tanks inside of the marine structure is measured by real-time monitoring the condition of the tanks; 5) damage to and the life of pipes, equipments or similar, which are positioned on an upper portion of a hull of the marine structure, are measured by real-time monitoring the upper portion of the hull; and 6) measuring degree of damage and the life of an umbilical cable, pipes, pumps, valves or similar which are positioned under water, and thereby accordingly carrying out appropriate automatic static and dynamic positioning, motion control, and maintenance of the marine structure.
