Feasibility and Experimental Analysis of SPM Translational Motion under the Effect of Regular Wave Using the 3D Image Processing System

Abstract

Single point mooring terminals are, as the name implies, facilities of small horizontal dimensions, to which large vessels are moored by means of a bow hawser or by any other means which allows the vessel to rotate 360 around the mooring point. Generally, the single point mooring terminal can have two functions. Primarily, it affords a safe mooring to the vessels. Secondly, it can form a link in the chain for the transport of oil. In this study, with the feasibility of 3D image processing, the SPM translational motion is evaluated. This translational motion includes Surge, Sway, and Heave. In order to ensure the results of the analysis of SPM translational motion, verification is carried out. In the following, by constructing SPM and situating it in reaction condition with regular wave, translational motion is obtained. Finally, the results indicate that image processing is acceptable in translational motion assessment of SPM.
