Abstract
Analysis of the expected downtime in complex offshore operations is performed with metocean analysis of the area of interest which is then compared to the operative limits defined by installation analyses. The metocean conditions are commonly represented by seastate hindcast time series. On the other end, the operative limits can be defined as maximum allowable sea state, as well as the maximum allowable vessel motion. This paper presents the methodology to evaluate the operative weather downtime based on classical operative sea state limit.
