Offloading Operations

The document outlines the Offloading Operability Joint Industry Project (JIP) which aims to enhance safety and efficiency in offloading operations through full-scale monitoring and analysis of operational experiences. It highlights the development of the SHUTTLE software tool for simulating offloading behaviors and emphasizes the importance of workability criteria. The project includes extensive measurements on floating storage and offloading units to provide feedback for design and nautical training improvements.

Operational feedback for design, engineering and nautical training

Offloading Operations; monitoring turret moored FPSO


Background WP2
DESIGN DECISION OPERATIONAL
The Offloading Operability JIP provided significant insight into offloading HUMAN
operations through model tests and numerical simulations. Software
tool SHUTTLE was developed. This tool enables the simulation of the
offloading behaviour of hawser-moored shuttle tankers and their
approach to FPSO or offloading buoy. SHUTTLE is extensively being

existing platforms and new developments. Workability criteria are key
parameters in this type of analysis. In reality operational offloading
procedures are not only based on the design/engineering and nautical Monitoring Campaign
training but also take the actual operational experiences on site in the
Extensive full-scale measurements will be conducted on board the
first two years of operation. It is important to monitor the actual
Liberdade FSO located in Timor Sea and/or the Sanha FSO operating in
operations to quantify the actual workability criteria and to provide
the Congo River Estuary West Africa. The measurements comprise:
feedback to design as well as to nautical training simulators.
FSO Motions & heading
Line & fender loads
Thrusters power and angle
Wave elevation between vessels
Tanker Approach track, heading & speed
Tug positions & line loads
Motions & gap while berthed
Environment 3D Wave, Wind and Current conditions
Objective
This project aims to increase safety of offloading operations and help
designers maximise terminal availability, through analysis of full-scale
measurements and study of operational experience and human factors

Scope of Work
