Stability Calculations
Stability calculations provide the current and/or anticipated condition of the vessel with respect to scheduled repairs, dry docking evolutions, or modifications to the vessel's liquid or static loads. Stability calculations by Pelico Marine can additionally provide recommendations to alter the vessels loading condition in order to achieve a desired or required condition in terms of drafts, displacement or other stability characteristics in order to maintain adequate stability for the vessel for the duration of your project. Understanding the potential impacts your project may have on stability is critical to the safety and efficiency of the evolution.
Mooring Arrangements
Mooring Arrangement design and calculations consider vessel geometry and stability characteristics to determine the most effective mooring arrangement to resist storm force winds and currents with respect to the pier characteristics, materials, and equipment specific to your facility.
Drydock Blocking Plan Drawing Composition and Design
Pelico Marine provides Drydock Blocking Plans for all the preferred drydocking methods used including floating drydocks, railways, graving docks, travel lifts, and synchrolifts. The design and placement of the docking blocks are provided based on the capabilities and general characteristics of your facility as well as the vessel’s stability and geometric characteristics.
Block Loading Calculations
Block loading calculations ensure that the forces imposed on the docking blocks do not exceed the limits of the blocking material used, the facility capabilities, or the ship structure.
Hurricane and Seismic Overturning Moment Calculations
Hurricane and Seismic overturning moment calculations are provided to ensure the designed blocking arrangement is suitable and able to resist hurricane force winds and/or seismic forces.
Pumping and/or Lifting Plans
Pumping plans provide guidance to the dock operator as to the appropriate ballast levels required to safely raise and lower their drydocks. Our pumping plans give careful consideration to clearances and the stresses, both observed and anticipated, imposed on the ship and dock structure. Similarly, Pelico Marine supports the use of travel lifts or syncrolifts by providing lifting plans designed to ensure ship loads are distributed appropriately within the capacity limits of your facilities equipment.
Although Pelico Marine LLC specializes in the Naval Architecture services listed above, we would be more than happy and interested to discuss your project regardless of the task and provide consult or help in any way we can.
