Description of facility:
The large Ocean Basin Laboratory has a length of 80 m, a width of 50 m and a variable depth of 0 - 10 m. It is ideal for studying basic as well as applied ship and offshore problems. A total environmental simulation including wind, waves and current offers unique testing conditions for models of all types of fixed and floating structures. A water depth of 10 metres offers excellent testing possibilities for deep water structures intended for the offshore industry in future.
Possible applications:
- Seakeeping
- Ship manoeuvring
- Fixed and floating structures
- Mooring systems
- Energy production from the sea
- Floating islands
- Offshore loading systems
- Offshore floating production
- Offshore marine operations
- Subsea systems and operations
- Pipelines
