DYNAMIC STABILIZATION OF A SHIP AT A JOBSITE

The problem discussed in this article is that, unlike conventional vessels, ships developed to carry exploration and recovery equipment for offshore oil, gas and minerals require dynamic stabilization at their jobsites. The aspects covered are: highly precise ship stabilization at a given point when process equipment is being operated; stabilization under actual hydrometeorological conditions and during a given period of continuous work; redundancy in stabilization system components to assure high reliability; and noise reduction in ship machinery and gear to minimize interference with hydroacoustic signals that would reduce the accuracy of ship coordinates measurement.
