Applicability Calculation and Analysis for Installing Propulsion System on Offshore Jack-up Drilling Platform
The advantages and disadvantages of the propulsion system for jack-up platform were analyzed and compared,and the hydrodynamic calculation for three different ship types of jack-up platform was carried out to design the propulsion system lay-out.The verification results of propulsion system showed that the layout of each platform can meet the DP 1 dynamic positioning requirements under given sea conditions,and the platform can achieve short-distance navigation assistance and precise positio-ning.Combined with the actual use of the platform,the propeller sharing scheme was designed to improve the economy of the platform to install the propeller.
