Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper describes a tandem hull floating production platform which combines the large deck space and high payload carrying advantages of a monohull vessel with some of the low wave induced motion characteristics that are typical of semisubmersible vessels. The basic features of the tandem hull platform are presented and comparisons made with the motion characteristics of various other hullforms. The model tests and computer simulation programs used in the design of the tandem hull platform are described and the results presented. Assessments are made of the capital and operating costs of a tandem hull production system and comparisons made with those of other floating production systems that are based on alternative hull forms.
