In order to improve quality and efficiency of their design work, Havyard Design & Engineering AS started to use GeniE software as the main finite element calculation tool in May 2010.

DNV's Environmental Performance System is used by customers in many industries; it is as applicable for yards as it is for offshore operations. The Nauticus Air and Nauticus Environment setups of the system specifically measure operational impact from ships in operation, and are tailor-made for the maritime industry.

The Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGS) has selected Phast Risk for assessment of risks from high-pressure gas pipelines. It has found that QRA is one of the most useful techniques for assessing risks from such pipelines and in developing a strategy for land use planning guidelines in their vicinity.

Norwegian gas wouldn’t reach Europe without pipelines, so it is reassuring to know that health checks of these 20 or so arteries have yielded positive results. Orbit+ Pipeline is DNV Software’s new generation software for Pipeline Integrity Management, designed in close cooperation with DNV Energy.

FKAB has been using Brix Project Manager in Nauticus Yard Package in an internal start-up phase for the past six months. Now the company is expanding its use of the software.

Ulstein Verft AS started using Brix Project Manager in Nauticus Yard Package on a proof of concep basis this spring, and by the end of the summer the plan is to start running a full stability and testing phase.

BMT TITRON , based in Newcastle, UK, recently purchased DNV Software’s Nauticus Early Design package.

Orecon Ltd., a wave energy device developer, based in south-west UK, recently purchased a Sesam package for analysis of their MRC (Multi Resonant Chambers) device for conversion of wave energy to ‘clean power’.

Just three months after the launch of Nauticus Hull Integrity, DNV Software won new contracts for three major ship operators. The last member of the family is containership operator APL in Singapore, who signed a contract on Nauticus Hull Integrity for 12 of its container ships in October.

Manage and track the condition of your offshore asset during its life cycle. Sesam Structure Integrity from DNV Software greatly reduces the chance of unplanned shutdowns and increases safety, as quality information on the asset integrity enables management to take corrective actions at the right time.

“Sesam will be an important implement of our own-developed codes and experiment facilities, helping us to take the challenges in the developing market of ocean engineering in China,” says Zhu Dexiang, Vice Director of China Ship Scientific Research Centre (CSSRC).

Behzad Stéphane Vahida of CGGVeritas, the world’s leading international pure-play geophysical company, explains why Sesam was the best choice.

“As the oil and gas fields get deeper, the installations of deepwater platforms become more challenging. The coupling effects between a floater and its moorings become more pronounced and more important. Sesam is an excellent tool for analysing the interaction between hull, moorings and risers,” says Andy Kyriakides, Project Manager, MODEC International LLC.

The North Sea has already entered the arena of platform removal. In the time to come, several and large platforms will be removed, and so there is a large business market for removal services.

The Safeti Hazard Analysis package can help you in your daily work throughout the life-cycle of your plant. It provides all the tools needed to ensure the safe design, construction and operation of your plant, whether investigating the findings of a HAZOP or screening your plant for the most hazardous processes.

PetroChina will use their Liao Yang plant for evaluating Orbit+ as their future asset management system. The agreement has a potential for 20 more plants in the next phase, pending a successful pilot project.

Recent changes to French legislation, concerning the prevention of technological risk, require industrial sites to calculate an effect distance for different accident scenarios, based on a detailed probabilistic risk assessment.

The Museum of Cultural History in Oslo considers to move the more than 1,000-year-old Viking ships through Oslo to a new museum on the other side of town. DNV assists the museum in preparing a basis for decision making.

Wasim is a time-domain motion and load prediction program capable of analysing practically any displacement vessel, including multi hull wave interaction and forward speed effects in its direct time step analysis. Since obtaining Wasim in January 2006, Viking Systems has used Wasim to predict motions and structural loads for trimarans, FPSOs, OSVs, and ocean-going barges in support of its structural designs.

DNV Software has been awarded a contract by TOTAL Exploration & production USA to deliver Field Life Cycle Manager for the Matterhorn TLP in the Gulf of Mexico.

Through the integration of cutting-edge technology with the industry’s most experienced engineers, Bennett has developed enhanced engineering methodologies and analysis tools.

Barlindhaug Consult has successfully used Riflex to model fish farms, beneficiating from experience gained while simulating the impact of ice blocks on a riser.

Tulsa-based Williams recently took delivery of DNV’s software package, Sesam, including the fully-coupled, timedomain, analysis module DeepC.

FKAB was awarded its first design contract in China from Shanghai Edward Shipbuilding in 1998. The list of contracts was further extended, and this flying start in China triggered the interest for a Chinese operation.

Atle Gundersen, Gassco AS, Norway, discusses pipeline operation advances and details the company’s pipeline integrity management plan.

Moss Maritime, a part of the Saipem group is one of two consortia fighting to secure a huge FPSO contract.

DNV Software is happy to announce that Vik-Sandvik is extending our relationship by implementing the Sesam software for finite element and wave load analysis. Vik-Sandvik is already a major user of Nauticus Hull Rule Check and 3D Beam.
