The SafeTrans software system has two major applications:
1. Sea transport simulations: An office-based simulator to: calculate criteria, demonstrate tow scenarios, and optimise a tow. The simulations account for various risks including human error. It considers delayed starts, routing changes, weather forecast error, and safe havens. The simulator includes sophisticated ship dynamic models that can handle almost any shape or can be customised for your specific fleet.
2. Offshore operations: A simulation system for operations on one location, to be carried out in sequential steps with varying go/no-go criteria. Tasks which can be interrupted for weather and tasks which may not be disrupted (critical tasks) can be distinguished.
SafeTrans incorporates state-of-the-art ship dynamics that include non-linear roll damping, “green water” (water on deck) and wind loads. A recent 10-year wave and wind database is included and derived from state-of-the-art numerical forecast models. The database includes fore-cast time horizons up to 7 days. This allows SafeTrans to account for differing forecasting accuracy around the world.
