Classification of Susbsea Construction Vessels and Evaluation of Study Effectiveness

Abstract

The main technological equipment of subsea construction vessel is diving complexes and hardware, in various combinations thereof. It is proposed to link the task of classifying vessels of this class with the classification of the subsea equipment they serve, in order to form the basic data of a perspective vessel. For this purpose, an analysis of function of subsea construction vessel was carried out and their design features were determined. Using the analysis performed, a first approximation evaluation of study effectiveness was carried out. The analysis of the results and the search for the optimal solution makes it possible at subsequent stages of research to develop a methodology for finding the optimal solution when choosing equipment.
