Learning outcome

Knowledge: - have a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical models used to analyse relevant marine operations. - has a fundamental knowledge of irregular sea states and how waves affects the vessel response. - has an overview of relevant marine operations and how to estimate response of the involved vessels and/or the equipment used during the operation. - has a good understanding of the fact that planning and execution of marine operations requires interdisciplinary insight and competence. - has a good knowledge of existing rules and guidelines to perform dynamic analysis of marine operations. - can update his/her knowledge in line with changes in rules and guidelines. - has an overview of what fatal consequences accidents in connection with marine operations might have. Skills: - knows how to apply fundamental mechanical principles to analyse relevant marine operations. - is able to reflect over the obtained analysis results to evaluate if the operation is feasible, or if new solutions or methods must be developed. - is able to find relevant and comparable results to support the problem at hand. - knows how to apply relevant scientific tools tp perform dynamic analyses of relevant marine operations. General competence: -is aware of the relevant challenges related to the execution of marine operations, including the interaction between technological and human factors. -is able to communicate challenges related to the execution of marine operations based on the experiences found during the planning of the operation. -is capable of carrying out work tasks (or projects) stretching out in time and involving several persons with different background and skill.
