IDK anything about AQWA and the documentation is available to customers only. Did you make sure you input the proper initial position of the...
That's not surprising. Because of the cost of building a typical rig, shipyards and rig designers have developed basic rig designs, the top works...
The diagonal portion of the columns gives a wider separation to the pontoons and to the parts of the columns which are immersed when the rig is...
Semis usually operate in two modes. In the transit condition, the rig is de-ballasted until the lower pontoon hulls break the surface. This...

Do pontoons have bulkheads?
I'm not aware of any rules, from ABS or the other classification societies, which govern passenger pontoons. In any event, classification of any...
The watertight kind, generally.
All kidding aside, I think one thing which is being overlooked is that, regardless of this vessel's supposed simplicity of construction, metal of...
