Current Affairs
Current Induced Loads and Motions of Offshore Structures


Background
The last few years the importance of current for the behaviour of offshore structures has been become evident. The strong
loop current in the Gulf of Mexico delayed installation projects and resulted in Vortex Induced Motions (VIM) of platforms.

Objectives
The objective of the ‘Current Affairs’ JIP is defined as follows:

To develop tools and guidelines to assist engineers in the assessment of current effects in the different design stages'.
