General information
A mining vessel is a ship designed for offshore mining operations. During the mining operation it is important for the ship to maintain position. This is usually done by using a mooring system or by a DP system. The sizes of this type of ships vary between 100m and 150m and are characterized by a high block coefficient. The operating speed is around 11 knots.

Services & Activities
The Ships Powering Department is involved in the speed power prediction of the ship in transit.
The Seakeeping Department investigates the seakeeping performance in all weathers and all sea states.
The Manoeuvring Department verifies the stringent demand on the low speed manoeuvrability.
The Offshore Department investigates the motions, accelerations acting on the vessel and the forces acting on the mooring system. The DP capability of the vessel can also be investigated.
The Nautical Centre MSCN offers training of the crew by simulating manoeuvres during operational conditions on a full size bridge.
The Trials & Monitoring Department is involved in full-scale measurements of ships.
