    The document provides instructions for writing an appendix to an offer for offshore lifting operations involving the transportation and installation of sixteen torpedo anchors. The appendix should discuss: 1) The phases of the operation from picking up the anchors at the quayside to installing them on the seabed, addressing technical challenges at each phase. 2) Analyses and calculations required during engineering, including which hand calculation methods and software will be used to solve specific challenges like dynamic forces and maximum sea states. 3) Brief calculations to check for potential resonance issues during lifting and demonstrate that a required anchor speed of 50 m/s is feasible given the free fall velocity.

    Lifting operations
    You are working in a company specializing in oshore lifting operations. Your
    company are now preparing an oer to an oil company for transportation to eld
    and installation of sixteen torpedo anchors. The data for the anchors are given in
    exercise 6.1 in the compendium. The water depth at nal location is 300 m.
    Your task is to write an appendix to this oer focusing on the marine engineering your company commit to perform. Write this appendix in an convincing way,
    ensuring the client that the right step is taken to reduce risk and support good
    planning and safe execution of the operation.
    You should briey discuss all the phases of the operation, one by one, from the
    anchors are picked up at a key side to the anchors are installed in the sea bed. For
    each phase, technical challenges are to be described. Further, all checks and all
    analyses that will be required during the engineering phase are to be addressed.
    This include which hand calculation methods and which type of commercial software that are relevant, and why. (For software: you may refer to the main groups
    discussed in the lectures, but you need to pinpoint what type of capacity this type
    of software have and why it solves your specic challenges)
    In general no calculations are required. However, calculations should be included for two issues
    The wire stiness is given by k=EA/L, where EA=200 000 kN. Make a quick
    check to see if resonance may me an issue any stages of the lifting operations.
    If so, tell when and discuss briey what could be done about it.
    The required anchor speed when hitting the sea oor is set to 50 m/s, i.e.

    less than in exercise 6.1. Demonstrate that this is feasible by showing that
    the free fall velocity is higher.

    Keywords for some of the issues you should address


    Lift planning and lift route
    Sucient deck space
    Securing of anchors during transportation
    Dynamic forces introduced in lifting wire
    How to determine maximum sea state for transportation and installation
    Determination of sucient height above sea oor for dropping anchor
