Welcome Letters

Welcome from the Conference Chair

I have the pleasure to welcome you to the City and Port of Rotterdam! Rotterdam is best characterized by its famous saying ‘Geen woorden maar daden’, which says as much as ‘Actions speak louder than words’. That is why Rotterdam was our first choice as the OMAE 2011 location in the Netherlands: it’s a port, not a resort! This is where this important offshore conference, with its ideal mix of people from industry and academia, belongs. With a record number of more than 800 reviewed papers, OMAE 2011 in Rotterdam is an ideal forum for offshore engineers, researchers, managers and students to present their progress in research and innovative technology. The opportunity to see real offshore structures during the Rotterdam Offshore Boat Tour makes it an even more unique event. The 30th OMAE in Rotterdam should therefore be ‘the Offshore Experience’!

OMAE 2011 has been organized by KIVI NIRIA (Royal Institute of Engineers) and a team of volunteers from the Dutch offshore and shipbuilding industry. The unique thing about this OMAE conference is that it has been developed by a team of 25 young engineers, together with the regular Local Organizing Committee. This team has organized special events and has given the conference a special flavor. This co-operation not only makes

the conference itself a wonderful event, but also stimulates young engineers to be involved in research and innovation.

OMAE 2011 is a ‘special product’ of the broad offshore industry in the Netherlands with contributions from Allseas, Biglift, Bluewater, Bosch Rexroth, Boskalis, Dockwise, GustoMSC, Heerema Marine Contractors, Huisman Equipment, IHC Merwede, KeppelVerolme, MARIN, Shell, Smit, The Offshore Partners and TU Delft. This has resulted in the following highlights:•AninterestingTechnicalOpeningSessionentitled

‘Going Deep!’ that discusses the challenges of new activities offshore: floating wind, deep water salvage and deep-sea mining

•ThreespecialSymposiaforDutchresearcherswhogave important contributions to offshore research: Jan Vugts, Jo Pinkster and Johan Wichers (in addition to the ten regular Symposia on all topics relevant in offshore engineering)

•TheRotterdamOffshoreBoatTouronTuesdayandthe special Banquet in the Maritime Museum on Wednesday.

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the rest of the OMAE 2011 team I wish you a very good conference!

Welcome Letters

Welcome from the Technical Program Chair

Dr. Ronald Riggs

As the OMAE 2011 Technical Program Chair, I am proud of the rich and varied technical program for the 30th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering.

You will have the chance over the next four days to choose from over 800 presentations of peer-reviewed papers, representing the state-of-the-art in ocean, offshore, and arctic engineering. This is a record number, and it reflects the long-term growth of the OMAE series of conferences. ASME-IPTI has organized five short courses for the Saturday and Sunday preceding the conference. The Tuesday evening boat tour of the Rotterdam port will be a new addition to the usual OMAE schedule. As well, the local organizers have planned exciting technical tours on Friday, showcasing some impressive engineering accomplishments and capabilities of our host country, the Netherlands. Over 18 companies are conference sponsors, showcasing the value the offshore industry places on OMAE. The Outreach for Engineers Specialty Forum continues to focus on drawing students, who are the next generation, into the fold. Exciting social programs are planned for accompanying persons, showcasing the culture and history of our host country. The annual OMAE conference has become the international technical conference in ocean, offshore, and arctic engineering.

The papers are organized into ten continuing symposia:1. Offshore Technology2. Structures, Safety and Reliability3. Materials Technology4. Pipeline and Riser Technology5. Ocean Space Utilization6. Ocean Engineering7. Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology8. CFD and VIV9. Ocean Renewable Energy10. Offshore Geotechnics

There are three special symposia honoring the contributions to offshore research of prominent Dutch researchers:1. Jan Vugts Symposium on ‘Design Methodology of

Offshore Structures’2. Jo Pinkster Symposium on ‘Second Order Wave

Drift Forces on Floating Structures’3. Johan Wichers Symposium on ‘Mooring of

Floating Structures in Waves’Traditionally, each OMAE conference honors an

outstanding academician or engineer who has made significant contributions to our profession. This year we have the opportunity to honor these three individuals who have made significant contributions during their careers.

While many of the continuing symposia have existed for some years, several are relatively recent additions and reflect the intention of the OMAE conferences and the OOAE Division to maintain leadership in emerging areas. Ocean Renewable Energy (ORE) is one such symposium, which has 85 papers and which typically hosts some of the best attended sessions. Ocean Space Utilization is continuing to grow to include Deepsea Mining and Aquaculture.

No matter which symposia interest you, be assured that the papers therein represent the state-of-the-art in research and applications. The program and conference CD will be a valuable resource for your own work, whether in academics or in industry.

I must issue a heartfelt thanks to all of the authors, symposia coordinators, session organizers and chairs, and reviewers who made this excellent technical program possible. And of course, I would like to congratulate the Local Organizing Committee, led by Bas Buchner, for the outstanding job they have done in organizing such a wonderful conference!

Welcome Letters

Welcome to the 30th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2011). It is with great personal pleasure that I welcome all of the attendees this year to Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Exactly five years ago, when I chaired OMAE 2006 in Hamburg, I talked with Bas Buchner about having an OMAE Conference again in the Netherlands, and now, here we are and I even have the honor to open the Conference.

The Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering Division of ASME features a wide range of social and technical issues, like environmental protection, education, HSE, energy supplies, environmental loading, hydrodynamic behavior, arctic engineering, materials selection, and structural strength. Aside from all oil and gas related topics which are still playing an important role, nowadays ocean renewable energies like waves, tides, currents and offshore wind have provided new and very interesting areas for scientists and engineers.

The Conference Chair, Bas Buchner and his dynamic and enthusiastic team put together a very exciting program, starting with an interesting Technical Opening Session under the title ‘Going Deep!’ on the challenges of new activities offshore: floating wind, deep water salvage and deepsea mining. Special highlights of the social program are the Rotterdam Offshore Boat Tour on Tuesday and the special Banquet in the Maritime Museum on Wednesday. Every conference day will conclude with informal drinks where you can meet all your offshore colleagues and make plans for dinner, etc.

Technical Chair Ron Riggs and the Symposium Coordinators have put together an outstanding program. This year, there are three specialty symposia in addition to our ten regular symposia. The specialty symposia are honoring Jan Vugts, Jo Pinkster and Johan Wichers, three worldwide, well known, outstanding offshore pioneers from the Netherlands.

Thank you very much for joining us in Rotterdam and I look forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with you over the next four days.

The deeper the challenge, the further we goAs a pioneer in offshore drilling systems and the first to explore beyond 2000 metres water depth,

it’s no surprise that Shell is a leader in deepwater. Our innovative excellence continues to push the

boundaries, from the world’s largest deepwater wells at Norway’s Ormen Lange to the world’s deepest

drilling and production facility, Perdido, Gulf of Mexico. Deploying cost-effective solutions using

a global team of experts and cutting-edge technologies, we’re doing more than digging

deeper – we’re breaking new ground. Want to dig deeper?

Special Symposia

Dr. Jan Vugts

Prof. Dr. ir. Jan H. Vugts has served a career of more than 40 years in science and industry. After graduating in 1963 as a naval architect, he was a researcher at the Ship Hydromechanics Laboratory in Delft with Professor Gerritsma, obtaining his Doctoral degree for research on hydrodynamic forces and ship motions in waves. In 1970, he joined the Offshore Engineering Department of Shell for a career in industry. Contrary to common practice at the time, he recognized the impact of the random dynamic environment on the behaviour of statically as well as dynamically responding marine structures, which necessitated accounting for the broad range of excitation frequencies and using a probabilistic instead of the usual deterministic approach. He retired from Shell in 1996 as Senior Offshore Engineering Consultant, having been involved with floating as well as bottom founded structures of all kinds. In 1992, he accepted a part-time Professorship in Offshore Technology at the Technical University of Delft, where besides his continued educational and research contributions he entered the field of offshore wind energy.

During his entire career he operated on the interface of R&D and practical applications, developing and promoting the development of necessary expertise in combination with realistic design and analysis methods for marine structures in their physical environment. Subjects ranged inter alia from probabilistic workability assessments for

floating equipment, to dynamic and fatigue analysis of deep water fixed structures and (re)assessment of existing offshore structures. In the 1970s, he developed and performed the first ever spectral fatigue analyses for a semi-submersible and the first two fixed steel structures for Shell in the central and northern North Sea. From the 1980s, he was further active on marine safety, particularly as the instigator of present-day site-specific assessments of jack-ups.

From the start in 1991 of efforts under the auspices of ISO to produce international standards for the petroleum and natural gas industries, he has been the Dutch representative and a prominent member of Committee ISO/TC 67/SC 7. After retirement from Shell as well as from TU Delft he continued this activity making major contributions to the ISO 19900 series for offshore structures.

He was awarded the Research Prize 1978 for Offshore Engineering of the Royal Institution of Engineers in the Netherlands and is an Honorary Member of its Offshore Engineering Department. In 2007, he received the ASCE OTC Hall of Fame Award for Pioneering Innovation and Lasting Impact of his 1976 OTC paper ‘Probabilistic fatigue analysis of fixed structures’. In 2009, he was one of three nominees for the Award of Excellence for personal achievements during an entire career from IRO, the Dutch Association of Suppliers in the Oil & Gas Industry.


Jan H. Vugts Symposium on ‘Design Methodology of Offshore Structures’


Dr. Jo Pinkster

Dr. Johan Wichers

After his graduation in 1970 in Naval Architecture, Jo Pinkster joined MARIN, the Maritime Research Institute of the Netherlands. At MARIN he was responsible for many projects involving either model tests or computations or both, which were carried out for the international offshore industry. Many of these projects were concerned with mooring of floating production units in open sea. While working at MARIN, the pressure integration method for determining the mean and low-frequency second order wave drift forces on floating structures was developed. In 1980, he got his PhD on this topic. The subjects of the many JIPs at MARIN at that time were on wave drift forces on moored tankers in deep and shallow water as well as on semi-submersibles. Other research interests which resulted in publications included weathervaning DP, wave-feed-forward in DP and wave energy devices. As of 1990, he was appointed as full-time Professor Ship Hydromechanics at the Delft University of Technology.

While at Delft University of Technology, he developed a new multi-body diffraction code, a code for passing vessel effects and a code for the behaviour

of air-cushion supported floating structures in waves. The new diffraction code was extended to include time-domain input from non-linear wave propagation models, which were coupled to allow the prediction of passing vessel effects on moored vessels including long wave effects arising from the interaction between the passing vessel induced flow field and the port geometry.

In 2006, he retired from the Delft University of Technology and since then he started Pinkster Marine Hydrodynamics (PMH) consultancy.

Jo Pinkster has contributed to international co-operation in research by membership of committees of ITTC and ISSC. In the Netherlands, he served as Secretary to the Offshore Department and Chairman of the Marine Technology department of the Royal Institute of Engineers.

In 2008, he was awarded the ASCE OTC Hall of Fame Award for Pioneering Innovation. He has published approximately 70 papers on subjects related to the behaviour of floating offshore structures in waves, dynamic positioning and (more recently) on the effects of passing vessels on moored ships.

Jo A. Pinkster Symposium on ‘Second Order Wave Drift Forces on Floating Bodies’

Johan Wichers received his MS degree in Coastal and Offshore Engineering in 1973 and his PhD in Applied Mathematics in 1988, both from the University of Technology of Delft. Johan Wichers started as Project Manager in the Offshore Department of MARIN in 1973. From 1989 to 1998, he was the Manager of the Seakeeping and Offshore Project Department. Johan Wichers was initiator of the new basins of MARIN and as a result he was strongly involved in the design of the new facilities from 1993 to 1998. In 1998, he became Vice President of MARIN and managed the MARIN affiliation in Houston.

The contribution of Johan Wichers to the fields of mooring of floating structures in wave, wind and current made a profound impact in the way the design of moorings systems were carried out. His

personal contributions included the development of the concept of wave drift damping which was found to be a crucial element in the assessment of the extreme loads in the mooring. He also pioneered in many studies on the viscous contributions induced by the low frequency motions. He was also mainly responsible for the development of the MARIN mooring programs for SPMs, jetty moorings and moored FPSOs. He published more than 60 papers on the topic of floating moored structures.

Since 2006, he is President of WMooring, Inc., a consultancy office in Houston, Texas. In 2007, he was awarded the Fellowship of the SNAME and received in 2010 the ASCE OTC Hall of Fame Award for Pioneering Innovation and Lasting Impact for OTC Paper No. 2548, 1976.

Invited Plenary LecturesDate: Monday, June 20Time: 10:30 – 12:00Location: Rotterdam Hall

IHC Deep Sea Dredging & Mining (IHC DSDM, part of IHC Merwede) designs, builds and maintains high quality, remotely operated marine excavation and slurry transport systems. The largest technical challenge in this sector is to define the parameters for the excavation process for deep water areas (>2000m). However, the existing offshore industry can support the design process with know-how, for example, about riser technology. New to develop are the vertical ore transport systems (pumping technology). Lab tests, simulations (DEM) and CFD are important aspects in the development of the deep water mining installations, whereas DEM simulations are of particular importance in defining rock characteristics in relation to the excavation process.

Wim de Boom

Bert van der Velden

The market outlook for offshore wind farms on floating supports is very positive. However, large scale application of floating support structures requires careful planning based on offshore industry knowledge. System dynamics, mooring configuration and cable technology all have to be understood, while in the end the overall concept has to fit within tight commercial boundaries.

Wim de Boom started his career in 1976 with MARIN, the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands. As a project manager in the Offshore Section of MARIN, he was involved in many frontier developments in the offshore industry. In 1986, he joined SBM Inc. in Monaco, dealing with

There are three main drivers for innovation in modern marine salvage. The first seeks greater efficiency in the performance of a salvage operation. The second one is public awareness for the necessity of a sustainable marine environment. The third (and perhaps the single most important stimulus) addresses new challenges in salvage, particularly those arising from the rapid growth of scale of (container) ship design and the prospects of ever larger and more complex vessels. This lecture reflects on these technical developments in the salvage industry related to the developments in the shipping, offshore and subsea industry.

various types of mooring systems in SBM’s Concept Department. In 1990, he relocated to the Netherlands to GustoMSC, the Dutch operating company of the SBM Offshore Group. Since 2009, he has been responsible for product development at GustoMSC, and liaises with SBM Inc. in Monaco for the group’s interests in renewable energy, when it concerns Offshore Wind.

Mr. De Boom has a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering from the Delft University of Technology. He currently chairs the Section Offshore Technology of KIVI NIRIA, the Royal Institute of Engineers in the Netherlands.

As Manager, Innovation & Business Development at SMIT Salvage, Bert van der Velden is responsible for the development and implementation of innovative solutions in SMIT’s worldwide salvage operations and environmental care services to the industry. Prior to working for SMIT Salvage, he worked for more than ten years in various positions in the international port industry providing turn key container handling systems. Mr. van der Velden has a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Delft University of Technology.

During this tour you will visit two cities which have both played a crucial role in the history of the Netherlands: The Hague and Delft. You will see some of the highlights of these cities like The Mauritshuis Museum in The Hague and the Porceleyne Fles, the only Delftware factory that remained in Delft. We start with a drive to The Hague for a visit to the Mauritshuis. This museum, which rises out of the water like a Venetian palace, houses an outstanding collection of paintings from the Golden Age. You will see paintings from the famous painters Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals and Johannes Vermeer. Continue to Delft, the city where Vermeer lived and painted. Enjoy a walk in the beautiful old centre of town along the canals and many almshouses. Afterwards you will visit the Royal Dutch Delftware Manufactory De Porceleyne Fles. The factory was established in 1653 and is the last remaining Delftware factory from the 17th Century. The world famous Royal Delftware is still entirely hand-painted according to centuries old tradition.

OMAE 2012 will be held in Rio de Janeiro, 10-15 June, 2012.

With recent discoveries of Pre-Salt reservoirs in deepwater offshoreBrazil, the country proven reserve has doubled so far. Prospects ofsubstantial amount of oil and gas in the Pre-Salt region include anoffshore area of 800Kmby 200Km in the Brazilian economic exclusiveoffshore zone.

Aseries of supply companies are establishing offices, manufacture facilitiesand research centers in Brazil in order to benefit from and contribute to theexpansion of the oil and gas industry to the newPre-Salt frontier.

OMAE 2012 will be held in Rio de Janeiro, having this challengingand exciting scenario as a background. Industry and academia willhave an opportunity to discuss the technical progress in the field ofocean, offshore and arctic engineering in recent years and be awareof the newchallenges of the near future.
