Aker BP has asked Tymor Marine to implement its MOSIS "stability in service" technology onboard the Skarv field FPSO in the Norwegian Sea.
MOSIS (Measurement of Stability in Service) is designed to measure the stability of any floating facility while in operation.
It works by inclining the vessel around 1 deg to both port and starboard, using embedded statistical processes to analyze the data and deliver feedback while the vessel continues operations. Data are captured under real and changeable conditions to help the operator better determine weight additions and stability.
Capture data can be used to optimize the vessel’s operating parameters.
Aker BP aims to assess the stability and weight distribution of the FPSO, which started service on the Skarv gas-condensate field in 2013, without having to move it from its location.
