Learn how MIKE 21 Mooring Analysis (MA) and Frequency Response Calculator can help you perform highly precise vessel motion assessments for safe and efficient operations at sea.
This course is right for you if…
✔️ You are you a professional or researcher in the field of offshore engineering
✔️ You are prepared to complete a two-module instructor-led online course, supplemented by a one-hour introduction to the structure and methodology of the course, over three weeks with group work included in each module
✔️ Your schedule allows you to allocate two hours to complete assignments for each module
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
✔️ Analyse dynamic systems in an offshore environment
✔️ Transfer data to a mooring analysis software
✔️ Evaluate weather windows and safety for offshore wind servicing
✔️ Schedule service vessels considering environmental forces
This course includes two modules conducted via online live sessions by our qualified trainers. You will learn through a combination of instructor-led lectures, demonstration videos and quizzes, hands-on exercises and reading materials.
Throughout the course, you will have ample time to discuss tips & tricks, best practices and examples with your instructor and fellow participants.
A major part of the online sessions is allocated to group work, which is based on home assignments set by the trainer. For maximum benefits, you are strongly advised to allocate a minimum of two hours of self-study for each of the two modules. There will be no homework for the one-hour introductory session.
This online course is divided into three sessions, a 1-hour introductory session and two 2-hour training sessions.
