New Wave Data Underpins Ship Structural Integrity
“butterfly effect.” Previous work by ClassNK indicates that as atmospheric circulation has the nature of chaos, if there is an error in an initial value, the error in the predicted value will increase exponentially over time. Wave forecasts, therefore, are often limited to about 10 days.Digital solution providers, including Sofar, are giving captains more sophisticated voyage planning tools so they can adapt their voyage plans to avoid adverse weather and therefore protect crew, vessel and cargo.And that’s the purpose of StormGeo’s s-Planner Seakeeping module. Wave data is an essential
