Hydrodynamic Model Tests With a Large Floating Hydrocarbon Storage Facility
The paper presents model tests with a floating hydrocarbon storage facility performed in SINTEF Ocean’s basin. The system may be considered a very large floating structure with a footprint of 300m × 310m. Hydrocarbons are stored into independent tanks, which are soft moored to a modular floating fra...

The paper presents model tests with a floating hydrocarbon storage facility performed in SINTEF Ocean’s basin.

The system is composed of 14 tanks and 21 frame barge modules, therefore 35 connected floating bodies. The objective of the model tests was twofold.
