Last year, MARIN released SafeTrans v10 as a web-based software. SafeTrans is a state-of-the art, cloud-based, integrated tool to optimise the design, verification and operation of marine heavy-lift transports and offshore installations.
Originally launched in 2001 as a Windows 95 application, SafeTrans has been regularly updated by MARIN with input from its dedicated user-group of 15 companies. After three years of development and testing, SafeTrans v10 is now used by its user-group and for consultancy projects.
The latest version combines the same elements that made it a success: a comprehensive MetOcean database, advanced hydrodynamic modelling of ship motions, and innovative voyage simulations with realistic weather avoidance. The new web-based system makes it easy to set up for clients, grow as needed, and share results better, while the interface includes post-processing for streamlined reporting. Additionally, SafeTrans v10 now supports linking and sequential execution of multiple offshore installation or transport tasks. This is particularly suitable for designing (de)commissioning offshore operations.
